Portland's Justin Ringle has been quietly building one of folk music's most devoted followings since the mid-2000s, drawing comparisons to the spare intimacy of early Iron & Wine w hile carving out his own unmistakable voice. The shift toward rhythm-driven arrangements on Appreciation marks a genuine turning point in the Horse Feathers catalog, one that feels earned rather than calculated. Horse Feathers feels like a secret you don’t really want to share. Over twelve years and five albums, a passionate fan base has experienced this band as a precious commodity that they want to keep close to their hearts. The signifiers of the band are there: Justin Ringle’s warm tenor and taut lyrics that speak of work, love, and other struggles; but on this album less of the song dynamics are achieved with strings and more with an exciting new rhythm section steeped in Northern Soul, creating a sound that leaps into the spotlight. Diehard fans are going to have to make room in the club house for a lot more people – with this album, the Horse Feathers secret is officially out. Tracklist 1. Without Applause (2:44) 2.
