After the first time I listened to this one, I woke up the next day (and the day after) with the melody for Blue Feather stuck in my head. I even found myself humming the tune as I went about my daily tasks. Typically this doesn’t happen so considering this is track 1 on Kelsea […]
The Jinxes Send Me A Sign
Any time I hear an acoustic guitar accompanied by orchestral instrumentation in a pristine mix, I feel great inside.

Being heavily influenced by the alternative rock scene in the US, songwriting became a natural part of the brothers’ lives. Optic Yellow Felt was officially formed […]
