Canada has pulled another rabbit out of there hat, and this time it has feathers. Hailing from Montreal, The Lovely Feathers are taking center stage with there debut full-length album, Hind Hind Legs. A thirteen-track release with stories to tell from these five longtime band mates. Heading the band are Mark Kupfert, and Richard Yanofsky, both vocalist's and guitarist's to add those lovely melodies, and ripe harmonies.
Their sound, a melodic post-punk meets quirky pop as they like to describe themselves, could not be more accurate. Each track is laced with it's own sound, but maintains The Lovely Feather spirit. With "Wrong Choice," a ear grabbing, attention getting, soon to be hit, they put all the ammo from there arsenal into this sing-a-long.
One thing that is for certain, they win the most creative album art award in my book, with hand drawing, a crazy layout, and an overall one of a kind look. This sure goes hand in hand with there equally creative song title's like "Lion eats the Wildebeest," and "Rod Stewart." Yes, "Rod Stewart," listen to all two minutes, and thirty two seconds of it's short, and sweet chorus, with its more prog-rock sound, and I am sure you will catch yourself singing it in the car, shower, or in your sleep. It's just that fun!
If you enjoy the likes of Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, The Bravery, or say the energy of Joe Jackson's, "Look Sharp!" Hind Hind Legs will be a favorite in your collection. So remember these five boys from the Montreal scene, with looks to kill, and melodies to keep you bumpin' and groovin' the night away to songs like "Frantic," go get Hind Hind Legs already! |
