Background/ Composition: This Montreal quintet were in town celebrating the release of their latest full-length, Fantasy Of The Lot.

Lovely Feathers Fall Down At Release Show

in
By Bianca Marcus (CHARTattack) June 8, 2009 2:08 pm
Montreal's The Lovely Feathers brought innocent, unfettered energy to the stage at their CD release party on Saturday. The band appeared in support of their latest album Fantasy Of The Lot, which dropped last Tuesday (it comes out Aug. 18 in the U.S.), and their giddiness about the record's arrival was obvious. The band started out with "...

The Lovely Feathers — Fantasy Of The Lot

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) June 4, 2009 4:06 pm
The Lovely Feathers disappeared from the indie rock radar rather quickly after the 2006 release of their Hind Hind Legs album, which makes Fantasy Of The Lot seem more like a rebirth than a follow-up. The course The Lovely Feathers' music has taken since then is comparable in many ways to that of B.C.-based Mother Mother. That band's debut, Touch...

Background/Composition: This Montreal quintet have been lying low since the 2006 release of their Hind Hind Legs disc. Their aesthetic is described as "fast indie pop" and that's as fitting a label as any. Grade: 80 Comment: The Horseshoe was shockingly full for the Feathers' 8:30 p.m. start, probably because it was just their second...

The Lovely Feathers — Hind Hind Legs

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) April 18, 2006 1:33 pm
With all the new indie bands in the world taking cues from either Interpol or Arcade Fire, it's nice to see one band following in the footsteps of The Shins and The Unicorns (it's not a surprise that they ended up on the label created for ex-Unicorns project, Islands). The Lovely Feathers' debut could hardly live up to their live show, which got...

Hometown:  Montreal, QC Background/Composition: Rockin’ indie sound with a touch of synthesizer and lots of rhythm.

The Lovely Feathers — "Lowiza"

in
By CHARTattack Staff September 1, 2009 11:39 am
Here's The Lovely Feathers' sex-filled video for Fantasy Of The Lot's "Lowiza," which is (quite ironically) a song about not having enough sex. The clip was directed by Alan Compton (Finger Eleven).

You probably just finished spinning The Dresden Dolls' self-titled debut when word came that the band's new record was ready. Yes, Virginia wasn't, however, written in haste. Singer Amanda Palmer says it was written over a very long period of time and that some of the tracks pre-date the band. Of course, we'll never know how they even found...
