The Feather

Newcomer on the Belgian scene, The Feather is the side project of Thomas Medard, singer/guitarist of Dan San. With his debut album, Invisible, Thomas delivers 12 tracks as the result of a long process of songwriting and recording. His cinematic universe is at a crossroads already explored by the dreamlike pop music of Department of Eagles, Syd Matters, or Tim Burton's instrumental and visual soundtracks. The resulting music, dreamy and melancholy, offers a diversified first album where the listener is invited to a sweet and emotional journey. For this record, Thomas carried to the extreme the concept of “solo project” and realized it from A to Z. He plays all the instruments (guitars of all kinds, piano, synths, bass, clarinet, glock, percussion,…) and has entirely produced, recorded and mixed it by transforming the attic of his house into a home studio. This attic has become a true sound laboratory in which time has stopped for this hyper-productive young musician. It is finally at Studio 5 (MLCD, Roscoe, Dan San,…) that the last layer of varnish was added, with the help of Raphaël Wynands. Fascinated by music as much as graphic arts, he also wanted to create himself the visual universe surrounding the album. Artist of the year by the Dour Festival for 2014, the band played a lot in big festivals including Dour Festival, Nuits Botanique, Les Ardentes, Les Francofolies de Spa, Canadian Music Week(CAN), 3 Elepant (FR), FME (CAN),… Links www.thefeather.be www.facebook.com/thefeatherbe www.soundcloud.com/thefeatherbe www.twitter.com/thefeatherbe www.thefeatherbe.bandcamp.com Videos Sunshine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=May_gJKiJmY Sighs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gxOhj7uElc Invisible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQQyYI36d9c Contact label@jauneorange.be Press quotes Indie Shuffle (San Francisco) : "All I know is that The Feather has immense visionary talents and I genuinely can't wait to dig into their newly released debut album, Invisible." All Things Go (Washington) : "It’s all curated so well that you’ll want to dive into the dreamworld created by this song and never leave. As its name implies, “What If” lends itself to repeat listening; you’ll discover something new every time." Obscure Sound (New-York) : "Belgian group The Feather craft an intoxicating sound that sounds purely enchanting, as if it emerged from an illuminated forest where unicorns roam." Indie music filter (Toronto) : "Creating a musical universe sounding like a mix between Sufjan Stevens, Department of Eagles or the instrumental soundtracks from Daniel Elfman or Eric Satie, I'm excited to hear more. So far, so good in "Sighs", look for his first album "Invisible" out in September." Rex Manning Day music blog (Canada) : "This band is living proof that the only thing better than Belgian chocolate, beer, and that famous statue of a naked little boy peeing into a basin (AKA the Manneken Pis) is the country's independent music scene."
