Horse Feathers Announce 20th Anniversary Reissue and Tour for Debut Album Words Are Dead
By

Summary
Horse Feathers are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Words Are Dead with a reissue and tour. The Portland band's 2006 album, which has been out of print for years, bridged the gap between the freak folk era and the polished indie-folk sound that later defined artists like Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver. The reissue brings back Justin Ringle's intimate, whisper-to-wail vocal style and the band's blend of ancient and avant-garde folk instrumentation.
