Horse Feathers to Release Thistled Spring on Kill Rock Stars
By Harold Shueberg on 01-26-2010
Strap on your not-too-ironic indie/country belt buckle and hunker yourself down in your favorite old-time-listenin’ rocking chair. Why? Because one-time-Portland-folk-duo-now-turned-four-piece Horse Feathers will be releasing their second full-length for indie powerhouse Kill Rock Stars. Yep, on April 2o, the band will be droppin’ Thistled Spring, the follow-up to their 2008 album House With No Home.
From the looks of it, they’ll be bringing their slightly melancholy piece of rustic sound to SXSW, followed by an apparent US tour in March/April, but the full tour has not yet been revealed. Check their MySpace for confirmed dates.

The night will also double as a release party for Rose’s final full-length album, Luck In the Valley, which will find its official release February 23 on Thrill Jockey. Get your tickets here: http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/4067
