House With No Home
“Despite being a string band steeped in Americana, Horse Feathers pluck instead of pick or fiddle, sounding contemporary instead of nostalgic, even as they retain a down-from-the-mountain sensibility.”
Thistled Spring
“The PacNW band continues to trade in Southern gothic images and themes, adding more complexity and confidence to their sound.”
Words Are Dead
“This Portland, Ore. duo have been racking up Iron & Wine comparisons but there's something a bit more avant going on beneath its rustic façade.”
So It Is With Us
“Horse Feathers’ fifth album finds the Portland chamber-folk group tinkering with new sounds, major keys, faster tempos, and different emotional textures. Their palette is more expansive and more ambitious, drawing elements from tango and doo-wop, jazz and '50s pop.”
Appreciation
“On Horse Feathers’ sixth album, their introverted persona has thawed, revealing a surprising affinity for the joy of Stax-era and country-fried soul.”
Cynic's New Year
“For Horse Feathers' latest album, Justin Ringle brought in scores of Portland musicians to add flourishes of piano, reeds, banjo, and horns. He's expanding his band's palette, not necessarily its sound.”
