Odd Name, Amazing Sound

Do you ever have one of those days where it just feels like you're drifting?  For me I can sometimes find myself feeling suspended in time not knowing how this moment came to be.  This tends to happen when I'm procrastinating on homework (like I am right now) or when I'm feeling, just completely relaxed.

This past weekend was the first time in a long time where I've had time to just be.  During this time I discovered a new band that I have fallen in love with.  Horse Feathers are from Portland and sound amazing.  They reminded me on first listen of a better version of Iron and Wine.  Not so wispy, but with  a little more grit.  I love the songs Heathen's Kiss, and Curs in the Weeds the most.  These two songs have been on repeat for about a week now and I can't stop listening to them.

Part of my infatuation comes from their use of string instruments (total sucker) and because they come from the Pacific Northwest.  As if I didn't already have enough reasons to visit.  Take a listen to them if you haven't, they're worth it.
