On Appreciation, their sixth full-length and the fifth on venerable independent label Kill Rock Stars, the signifiers of the band are there: Lead singer Justin Ringle's warm tenor and 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. Longtime violinist Nathan Crockett and keyboardist Dustin Dybvig provide continuity, but much of Appreciation feels like the best of Ringle's previous musical ideas just took a giant step into a larger arena.

"It just felt like a fresh take on how my songs can come across," Ringle says. "With this incarnation, it's okay if what I'm doing right now is in fact kind of a pop song. I can have a chorus and repeat something. I'm more aware of that and enjoy it."

Horse Feathers will launch their tour in support of Appreciation in May, see below for dates with more to be announced.
