2010, Kill Rock Stars
Horse Feathers third album - and second on Kill Rock Stars - Thistled Spring displays a rich progression more textured and lush than the band's previous two albums. It also captures the skillful interplay of the band's current touring lineup of Justin Ringle (on vocals and guitar), violinist Nathan Crockett, cellist Catherine Odell, and multi-instrumentalist Sam Cooper. Lyrically Ringle continues to explore broken relationships, longing, and pain, but this album has an undercurrent of heat that translates to a thawing of frozen hearts, and music which rushes like spring torrents, all of which points to a resurgence of life after a hard winter.
