Justin Ringle, originally from Idaho and then relocated to Orego, is the driving force behind Horse Feathers. Although ‘driving force’ might be a little out of place when talking about Horse Feathers. “House With No Home” is a quiet affair with Ringle’s vocals barely ever rising any louder than a whisper. Backing Ringle up are Peter and Heather Broderick. The first being a multi-instrumentalist, the latter being a cello-player who also contributes backup vocals to most of the songs.
Cuts like “Curs In The Weeds” and “Working Poor” are beautifully hushed songs that will appeal to fans of Iron and Wine or Bon Iver. Call it folk, Americana or alt-country or a combination of the above, fact remains that - even though this is just Horse Feathers’ second release - they’ve already managed to create a heartwarming and melancholic sound that a lot of artists in the genre struggle to achieve. If they ever do that is.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
