Indie Pop from The Thing With Feathers

Alternative rock sensation The Thing With Feathers have cemented their reputation as one of the hottest acts coming out of Nashville, no easy feat considering the city’s rich music scene. The four-piece outfit is formed by frontman David Welcsh, Sean Carroll on bass, lead guitarist Alex Hendricks and drummer Chris Rousell.

Together, they draw on their shared music interests and influences from artists such as Coldplay, the 1975, and The Strokes to create their own unique sound which they’ve been sharing with the world since the release of their debut single “Song of the Nighttime” in 2019. Followed up by their hit “Figure It Out” which clocked over a million streams, they’ve continued to go from strength to strength with each new release.

After being forced to put a hold on their live performances due to the global pandemic, they focused more time on their studio releases. The result was their debut EP titled Sundays in the South produced by Owen Lewis and mixed by Dreaden, to firmly put The Thing With Feathers on the map of rising artists that deserve attention.

Now after the re-opening of the world and the resumption of live music, they’ve just finished a month-long tour of the South. Following on from their EP, they’ve recently dropped a new track titled “Don’t Break My Heart”, the lead single and first of five from the forthcoming sophomore EP.

Laying down an upbeat hook-driven guitar riff and instantly catchy vocal leads, with “Don’t Break My Heart” The Thing With Feathers deliver another memorable hit single. Written about an unstable relationship furled by insecurity on the male part, the Tennessee band’s new single feels like a timeless classic and serves to build further anticipation for their next EP.
