'Feathers' is the fourth studio album by Washington DC's DEAD MEADOW and its first as a quartet with new guitarist CORY SHANE. Dead Meadow play an unusual blend of flawless Hendrix/Sabbath riffage, dreamy psych, heavy undulating rhythms, dirty blues-rock, and environmental jams, with eerie highpitchedvocals. Miles beyond "stoner rock" gimmickry, this is a beautifully organic sound, played with alarming mastery. 'Feathers' opens up the Dead Meadow sound still further, seeming at once more experimental and more accessible than anything they've recorded thus far.
