Review
I’ll
let the bio tell you the details behind this fantastic sounding
Psychedelic Hard Rock/Stoner Rock Band by the name of Ether Feather.
Although
they took their name from a Captain Beefheart lyric, Los Angeles trio
Ether Feather seems to worship more at the alter of Black Sabbath,
Budgie, and Rush. In many ways the band, with only one release to its
name, actually began in 2011 when drummer/singer Dylan Ryan (Cursive,
Fatal Jamz) started the band as an instrumental trio called Sand with
future Ether Feather collaborators Devin Hoff (Cibo Matto, Julia
Holter) and Tim Young (Reggie Watts, Wayne Horvitz)
After
two Sand records Ryan set the moniker aside in favor of a new name
that better reflected the new direction of the material he was
writing, specifically psychedelic proto-metal. Ether Feather
self-released an EP in 2017 called Other Memory and are sorting out
plans for the 2018 release of their debut full length. March 12,
2018 sees the release of the new single, The Falconer.
The
band’s new single Interstellar is a seriously heavy and groovy
affair that sees the band declare their love for all things 70s Hard
Rock/Heavy Metal with shades of Doom, Stoner Rock and Proto-Metal
lurking in the background. Perhaps taking influence more from Uncle
Acid And The Deadbeats with a hint of Black Sabbath. The dual vocals
are simply sublime with the heavy doom based guitars playing in the
background.
Ether
Feather have been premiering songs all over the place with songs and
videos premiering on sites such as Buzzlands L.A., Psychedelic Baby
Magazine and New Noise Magazine amongst others.

included the links so you can find more about this great band.

Ether
Feather have allowed me to premiere their excellent new single –
Interstellar. The band are currently hard at work recording their new
album which will be released later this year. Until then enjoy this
slice of heavy proto-metal goodness.
