The Feathered Thorns
The Feathered Thorns create compelling, explorative music which defies classification of genre and is in turn poetic, unsettling, visceral, spectral, romantic and raw incorporating beguiling spoken word and lyrical melodic vocal duets, with broken parlour piano, valve driven guitar amplifiers on the verge of break up, spring reverbs and analogue effects which produce an authentic raw tonal palette, over a haunting collage of lo-fi sampled crackling soundscapes and disembodied tape recordings. Melancholy, heartbreak and adrenaline meet the real or imagined, the ache of the familiar and the brooding thrill of the unknown.
“A spectral fog of acoustic authenticity and jarring electronic interference. Bungay is the new Seattle.” - Stewart Lee, for The Idler on The Feathered Thorns’ WITCH.
