Without the help of effect pedals, Horse Feathers relies on their musical abilities, the vocals of all four band members, and their creative experimentation with their instruments to create different sounds that many other bands are only capable of producing with the help of computers. The resulting music is pure and simply beautiful." - New Music Collaborative "Heartbreaking and pretty, the scenes in Horse Feathers’ music are shaped by stark piano, moody upright bass and Ringle’s folksy fingerpicking....Sustaining an uneasy, somber mood through minor chords, the group plays with enough quiet strength to keep the feeling of defeat at bay. Even without a trace of sunshine, Horse Feathers’ melancholy, country-flecked chamber-folk is buoyed by a sense of redemption that could convert the gloomiest cynic." Time Out Chicago "The transformation from album to stage was actually quite amazing, the instrumentation had even more of a presence live than it does on their albums (I didn't think it was possible). " - Twin Cities Daily Planet *ABOUT FRANK FAIRFIELD* "It’s difficult to imagine Frank Fairfield living in an apartment, let alone using e-mail or a cell phone. It’s much easier to picture him supine in the back of a boxcar, plucking his battered banjo while shuttling across a black Southern sky. Or camped by the bank of some slow-moving tributary, fiddling forgotten Appalachian murder ballads, surrounded by hobos chomping cold beans. Or stepping out of a Faulkner novel, all gun smoke, ancestral ghosts and gee-tar." - LA Weekly www.highmayhem.org www.facebook.com/highmayhem https://www.facebook.com/events/557664537581325/
