The Lovely Feathers are a Canadian indie rock band formed in 2004 from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band toured with Metric in late 2005. Their first release was an independent release titled My Best Friend Daniel. Their second album (first official LP), Hind Hind Legs, was released on April 18, 2006 by Equator Records/EMI. It was produced by Jimmy Shaw of Metric and Drew Malamud. They toured extensively following this album, crossing North America several times. Their third record, Fantasy of the Lot, was released on June 2, 2009 by Sparks Music/EMI.
Their song 'Wrong Choice' was featured on the tv show One Tree Hill. Their song 'In the Valley' was featured on the show Death Valley (TV series), and their song 'Frantic' was placed in an episode of Vice Guide to Travel. They have also performed live on MTV Live (Canada) twice.
The Lovely Feathers made two music videos. 'Frantic', their single from Hind Hind Legs, was a playful, semi-animated video directed by renown artist Jon Rafman. 'Lowiza', off of Fantasy of the Lot, was a more traditional narrative about sexual impulses directed by Alan Compton in 2009.
The Lovely Feathers have played the South by Southwest, Pop Montreal and North By Northeast festivals several times. Their albums have reached the top of Canadian and American College Radio, and have been positively reviewed by the likes of SPIN, Pitchfork Media, and Rolling Stone.
The Lovely Feathers play eccentric, indie-pop, somewhat similar in style to The Unicorns, Talking Heads and Birdmonster.
