Foxfeather’s debut full-length album is a carefully crafted and candidly written exploration of the world around us wrapped up in a Folk-rock bow.
Colorado-based Folk-rock group Foxfeather worked in collaboration with Octave Records to create their debut full-length album, The Nature of Things, slated to release 22 April. With intentional lyricism and inventive musicality, songwriters Carly Ricks Smith and Laura Stratton explore everything from love, betrayal, and uncertainty, to female empowerment. Pulling songs from across their catalog, the band explains that “24 Years” was written more than a decade ago while other tracks had been plucked from their live set, ripe and ready for recording. On the other hand, songs like “Too Damn Small,” “Lonely Feeling”, and the album’s title track were written during the pandemic and worked to help shape the album’s ethos. Ricks Smith and Stratton explain that by writing they were able to process “the grief and shock of the pandemic the best way they knew how” and in turn, add “meaning and importance to the full album.”
“FoxFeather’s ‘The Nature of Things’ is the kind of release that gets music lovers talking and feet tapping. This is one hell of an album…. Brilliant songwriting, powerful vocals…a must-have musical treasure.”
Listeners can stream Foxfeather’s The Nature of Things April 22 on all major streaming platforms.
