Feathers
Although you may have thought we were down for the count, the many glasses of Scotch and beautiful Isle of Skye scenery in Scotland have revived SK for another go at this blogging thing. I hate self-promo but if you are a Boards of Canada fan, be on the look-out in the coming months for an exclusive cover story in the next issue of RE:UP where I recount my 3 hour face-to-face interview with the brothers Sandison. I was told I am the only US journalist to meet live with the guys regarding their new Campfire Headphase. It was an incredibly moving experience to say the least. Today's post is from a new band on Home Tapes Recordings, a lable I first heard about after listening to some great Paul Duncan records sent to SK. Feathers is definitely a must for Tortoise and Stereolab fans, an instrumental group with both groove and space-age soundtrack tendencies. This track is from their only release this far, but will be part of a 3 EP cycle that should impress instrumental music fans into this sort of thing. Solid vibraphone, pensive piano chord intro (think Vince Guaraldi of Charlie Brown fame), and hand claps that blasts into a nice early Mice Parade/Dylan group Sunday morning Fall jam. "My Apple Has Four Legs" is like a one track mix tape representative of an entire decades worth of post-whatever music. With all this rain drenching NYC, this sunny blast of post-rock should be at least a temporary respite. You will be hearing a lot more from Feathers in the future. Resources
