Twi the Humble Feather is the perfect soundtrack to: A) moonlit treks through the woods, B) Christmas nights when mom and dad don’t fight, C) taking baths in rosewater. Rhythmic and breathy, the music has an organic feel that hushed up Glasslands in Williamsburg November 21. The acoustic trio focuses on the sound’s ebbs and flows and acts as a live-action tape-loop, repeating soft riffs as they build to a chorus of crescendos that luxuriously slink away into whispers. Twi the Humble Feather don’t tell stories, instead they set the stage with each song connecting to the next with quiet crooning to create an evening of delicately-crafted soundscapes.

There are lots of bands out there lauded simply for their originality, bands that otherwise don’t deserve much attention. Twi the Humble Feather, while sounding like nothing we’ve ever heard, is not one of them. The exclusively acoustic three-piece come across as a live-action tape-loop of sorts, their chanting falsettos bleeding through cycles of finger strumming dwindles and swells. It’s part Gregorian chant, part Christmas carol and part Panda Bear’s Person Pitch unplugged. The forthcoming album is called Music for Spaceships and Forests.
out of all the songs in the land, Higher than the end is the best. I want to talk to a friend of mine who books shows at this club in Chicago. If i can make it happen, would you make the trip? Please? I hope all is well!

Hi Ant and greetings from Sweden, the communist monarchy and homeland of José Gonzalez!
I just wanted to say that I am desperately looking forward to the release of the album.
Finally!
By the way, I sent you a CD with my stuff, c/o your pal José - but I got it back a few months later with a stamp that said "recipient unknown" or something like that.
Do you have a new adress...?
Anyway, looking forward to hear the tracks - very much indeed.
