Ringle, who blends Richard Buckner's soft, serpentine delivery with Andrew Bird's \"I can't open my mouth all the way\" mumble populates his songs with the kind of woodsy, heart and soul- broken characters that one would expect to find lurking between the pines on a frosty Oregon morning in February, but it's Broderick who provides the chill. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis string arrangements are grandiose in their simplicity and busy without ever interfering with Ringle's poignant, icy prose. From the heady opener \"Curs in the Weeds\" to the surging, banjo-led \"Working Poor,\" the two carve up each track like master craftsman, finding the perfect middle ground between the sparse, reverb- laden landscapes of the Great Lake Swimmers and the orchestral, aching beauty of Hem. This deluxe reissue includes a bonus 7\" with a 2021 reworking of 'Curs In The Weeds' with a full band as well as 2 songs from a radio session recorded during the European tour for the original album release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kill Rock Stars","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50483336118603,"sku":"1149185","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/fa3eef42-2011-4936-9280-e845d725ddfd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727565209"},{"product_id":"words-are-dead-deluxe-edition","title":"Words Are Dead (Deluxe Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2026, Horse Feathers’ debut album, \u003cem\u003eWords Are Dead\u003c\/em\u003e, celebrates its 20th anniversary. Kill Rock Stars are so excited to celebrate this by releasing a deluxe reissue that is completely remastered and pressed on an exclusive vinyl colour. It also includes a replica of their original six-song demo CD in the package, along with a deluxe foil-stamped LP jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the years following \u003cem\u003eWords Are Dead\u003c\/em\u003e, Horse Feathers quietly built a body of work defined by patience and evolution rather than reinvention. Records like House With No Home, Thistled Spring, and Cynic’s New Year expanded their sonic palette without abandoning the restraint that first set them apart. By the time of Appreciation, the band had begun to open its sound outward, introducing richer arrangements and a subtle warmth that suggested growth without rupture. Through it all, Ringle remained a steady center, writing songs that favoured emotional precision over spectacle. The reissue of Words Are Dead does not attempt to rewrite that history. Instead, it brings the origin point back into focus, offering a rare chance to hear where it all began while recognizing how far the project has travelled since. Revisiting the album now, with two decades of distance, reveals not just a beginning but a foundation. The same careful interplay, the same attention to space and tone, still anchors the band’s work today. In that sense, the reissue feels less like a retrospective and more like a continuation. A reminder that some records do not age so much as they wait for the right moment to be heard again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kill Rock Stars","offers":[{"title":"LP - Coral plus Demo CD","offer_id":57502592794955,"sku":"R4668-1032","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/url_57aafa73-ce3e-4f29-97b1-58c08389ed61.jpg?v=1780492548"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_bf4ba169_thumbnail_4096_74a3b5f3-8576-4cf8-a705-7bf7bfd083b8.jpg?v=1726951204","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/horse-feathers.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
