Another fine band from Portland Oregon, Horse Feathers are headed up by the mellow-voiced Justin Ringle – think My Morning Jacket’s Jim James but more lush – with arrangements by the multi-talented Peter Broderick.

They play very fine Americana and in the song ‘Cascades’ – out on 7″ right now – have released one of the more sublime efforts to hit my record player in recent days. ‘Curs in the Weeds’ – also on their myspace – is a pretty amazing song too. Check them out – they’ve just finished a short tour of the UK but should be back next year.
