Feathers: “Heartbreakers”.

October 14, 2011, 0 comments

Brisbane four-piece Feathers might be a little late for jumping on the 60s-inspired girl group bandwagon that has been thoroughly championed by Vivian Girls, Dum Dum Girls, and the whole lot stateside for the last couple of years now, but we here at NFOP would like to firmly reassure you that it all doesn’t really matter at all as long as you know how to do things right. And these ladies do indeed: “Heartbreakers” is an aptly dark lo-fi pop song that certainly received just the right amount of Spector-ish treatment, with subtle hints of shoegaze and actually a pretty damn fine groove. Nice.

“Heartbreakers” appears on Feathers’ sophomore LP Hunter’s Moon, out October 24 on Brisbane boutique imprint Bon Voyage, limited to 100 copies.
