I’ve always been a dedicated listener of Portland, OR’s Horse Feathers. So when they released their third album, Thistled Spring earlier this year, I instantly fell in love with the overwhelmingly lush instrumentation and sandy vocals that painted the record. Heading in a little more upbeat direction yet still capturing the feelings of struggle, Thistled Spring is probably Horse Feathers’ most balanced and best work yet.
I sat down with lead vocalist/guitarist Justin Ringle to talk about their new 7′ vinyl single, Thistled Spring, Bumbershoot, and his current state of mind.
