Feathers--Synchromy EP

Analogingly rocking away, Feathers soars with their second installment in their debut EP trilogy, Synchromy. At some points a lumbering monstrosity, at others a sleek hipster, Feathers display their talent of taking normal music and making it anything but. The trio from Miami creates such rock-like beats and rhythms without ever using traditional rock instruments (at least not obviously). "Iron Mountain" is a pop tune flavored with sci-fi sound effects, a formula that may sound like a recipe for some awful future-based Disney made-for-TV-movie that includes a concert at some point, but much better. The songs carry a sophisticated beat, like "Ap (Parenthe) - Synthesis" which sounds like the opening ten seconds to some blockbuster pop-rock act, only stretched into four minutes that leave you not missing the guitar chords at all. Feathers artificially takes electronic and rock influences, fuses them together, and makes them be friends. And thank God too, Synchromy is an engaging and intuitive release that bodes well for Feathers’ future.
