Feathers – Hunter’s Moon
Female four-piece Feathers (unintentional alliteration!) hail from my hometown of Brisbane, Australia.

First starting out as a trio, then losing a drummer, picking up a new drummer and a bass-player, the progression of the band is inevitable. Yet as they release new album Hunter’s Moon through ace local label Bon Voyage, Feathers are intent to showcase how far they have come – and as a time capsule highlighting the genesis of the band up to today, the album succeeds admirably. Continue reading “Feathers – Hunter’s Moon”
Bummer High – Lost Highway CS
