Justin Ringle of Horse Feathers has turned out to be a songwriter strongly influenced by the seasons. His Portland, Oregon-based band's last record, the critically acclaimed House With No Home, was a winter album par excellence, from its chilly cover art to its frostbitten songs of loneliness and loss. Thistled Spring as a whole 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 Ringle, violinist Nathan Crockett, cellist Catherine Odell, and multi-instrumentalist Sam Cooper. Thistled Spring 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. Cynic's New Year, the latest album from Horse Feathers, is out now.
