Saved by Without Feathers

wihtoutfeathersWhen I found out that my much adored Standard Fare was calling it quits earlier this year, I was heartbroken.  I loved Emma Kupa’s voice, and their last effort still gets played at least once a week around the house. She’s got a new group titled Without Feathers, which features some other heavy-hitters from the UK scene.  At this point, we’ve just got three little songs to enjoy, but you should check them out, as they show great promise, which gives me hope that there’s great things on the horizon for this group in the very near future. I’ll keep you posted.

New (to me) Tune from Oberon Rose

I really dig this tune, and it’s completely out of nowhere.  Apparently this album, Wunjo, has been floating around for a bit, but it’s just picking up a head of steam as we speak, though there’s not much info out there on the man behind it, Tom Oberon.  Almost every single thing I’ve read tosses out the Kinks and T. Rex, which I see, but the song below for me feels like Eliott Smith—that also makes sense since Elliot was an adamant fan of Beatles/Kinks-era pop tunes.  Regardless of what I’ve found, this song totally owns, and I can’t stop listening to it, or the record for that matter.
