[This Just In] Horse Feathers - House With No Home
Welcome to the first installment of “This Just In” where a WOXY.com DJ gives thoughts on a new record that has recently been added to the playlist. Today, Joe takes a stab at the new album from Horse Feathers, House With No Home.
When it comes to mostly acoustic based, sometimes quiet singer songwriter types, I am, admittedly, quite the fan. So it should not come as a big surprise that I am totally bowled over by Horse Feathers. The Portland based trio are preparing to release their second full length album, House With No Home, on Kill Rock Stars and I can honestly tell you that this has become my morning album of choice during the past month or so.
There is something almost sacred about good morning music for me. It has to be gentle enough for me to ease in, but not so sleepy and I stay in my morning coma. Horse Feathers achieves both of those and more on this new album. Combining the hushed tones of early Iron & Wine with vocals and the backing strings you might find on a Bonnie Prince Billy album, Horse Feathers have created a soothing yet complex piece of art. And to be quite honest, the more I listen to songs like “Rude To Rile” & “Heathen’s Kiss,” the less I think this is just a morning album, and the more I think it is suitable for just about any part of the day.
So, if you have ever called yourself a fan of Sam Beam, Will Oldham, M. Ward, John Fahey, or Bon Iver, this is required listening. House With No Home drops on Septemeber 9th from KRS, but you can listen to a song below right now.
