Feathers refers to two groups.
1.
http://www.myspace.com/feathersfamily
Looking (and often sounding) as though they’ve been sent directly from central casting, the psych-folk octet Feathers originate from the same fertile New England climates that generated the wayfaring likes of Tower Recordings and the MV & EE Medicine Show. The arrival of their debut album on Devendra Banhart and Andy Cabic’s Gnomonsong label has not gone unheralded, since the group have built a promising reputation through their guest appearances on Banhart’s Cripple Crow and opening for such acts as Sufjan Stevens, Dinosaur Jr. , and Smog. In addition, Feathers’ Kyle Thomas and Asa Irons perform alongside J Mascis in the sweet-leaf metal combo Witch, an outfit whose recent debut provides this ethereal album with a valuable textual counterpoint.
Home recorded and originally self-released on vinyl, the music on Feathers exists largely in the bucolic countryside previously occupied by the Incredible String Band, Comus and their progressive brethren. This might lead skeptics to dismiss this spirited collective as just another escapist hippie revival. Yet throughout the album the casual sophistication of Feathers’ arrangements— as well as their firm grasp of dissolute, post-Siltbreeze dynamics— helps these performances achieve a distinct emotive depth and a gauzy, out-of-time luster. Four of the group’s eight members contributed to the songwriting, and at least that many help furnish vocals. And while this multiplicity of perspective lends the album a constant variety of shade and nuance, it never distracts from the essential fellowship of Feathers’ quiet, communal flutter.

He Wim, had ik nog niet van je aangeklikt. Folk met viool, in een pittiger jasje dan dave swarbrick en eliza carthy. Kende ze niet, Feathers, leuk intermezzo op een grijze namiddag. Bedankt, Jaap

Do they even have an album called Something's Wrong With Feathers? It's not listed on this page. My friend sent it to me last year over Soulseek but I can't find any trace of info about it online. It's definitely by them, though. It could be early recordings, hence one of the tracks being titled "Feathers," but it's killing me. I need to knowww.

A pinch of T-Rex, eye of Fleetwood Mac and a couple of Beatles. Not bad flavor.

Please note that the Gnomonsong "Feathers" only have one album. The others are from a band in Miami, FL. They're worth checking out as well.
