Description
Portland / Astoria, Or. Kill Rock Stars. Justin Ringle, the man behind more than a decade of Horse Feathers, brings the latest incarnation of the band to Soulful Space. He has enlisted longtime band mate Nathan Crockett (strings/mandolin), and adding J. Tom Hnatow (bass, pedal steel), Robby Cosenza (drums/cymbals). Horse Feathers have emphasized rigid song structures and careful arrangements that blend guitar, violin, cello, and voice into melancholy rural song suites. Broadening the tone of the music has opened up new possibilities, which means Horse Feathers play more like a band and less like a Ringle solo project. Their palette is more expansive and more ambitious, drawing elements from tango and doo-wop, jazz and '50s pop. They plays songs like “Old Media” and “Small Melody” with real enthusiasm. “Dead End Thanks” in particular thrums with energy, as Nathan Crockett’s violin spirals around Dustin Dybvig’s piano and pulls the song in unexpected directions.
This is still a Horse Feathers album, which means that underneath the liveliness lurks the
same darkness that has informed all of the group’s material. “We’re out
of tune, you’ll be gone, and I’ll be leaving soon,” Ringle promises on
the sing-along chorus to “Violently Wild”, singing darkly of marriage
and commitment and the inevitable end that quells all arguments.
Throughout his tenure, Ringle has written eloquently. -PITCHFORK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCm5wRMalY4
