I don't mean to be pedantic, but did you know there ARE horse feathers? The frilly hairs around the hoofs and fetlocks of draft horses, like Clydesdales, Percherons, and other breeds such as Freisans are called "feathers."

Understandable that this would be an acquired taste but, once acquired, I've found much of their music to be captivating. Previous poster cited "Curs in the Weeds" and "Working Poor" as being off of this debut release, but those are actually off their second album "House with No Home". Both have great moments, but for me the first one "Words are Dead" (containing this track) is better. It's one of those albums that I fixated on — playing little else — for a period of weeks. Strange how music can mesmerize some — touching some unconscious thread in our brains that we didn't even know was there — while repulsing others. I guess that's why we listen, no?

Play on, Goldsmith's. Play on!

Does the singer sound like the bassist for Gomez? {#Ask}

Edit: Just glanced through the posts and I see that I'm not alone in thinking this...

Great Lake Swimmers are SO much better than this.

The violin in this is grating on my nerves too. Never really cared much for this song...or this band in general...

Hmm. At first I thought it was Gomez. Nice tune.

I agree. I know I'm in the minority here, though. So, I guess I'll just take a walk.

For some reason I thought this song was by Gomez, Maybe that's why I can't find it {#Frustrated}
