Feathers was an Australian dream pop ensemble that originated in Brisbane, Queensland, in 2006. By 2009, its members comprised Michelle Brown (vocals, guitar, bass), Helena Papageorgiou, Innez Tulloch (bass), and Susan Milanovic (drums). Their album Hunter's Moon, released in October 2011, combined a dark, reverb-heavy psychedelic dream pop style with influences from 1960s garage rock. The group discontinued their activities by 2015.
History
The band Feathers was established in 2006 by Michelle Brown and Helena Papageorgiou. In late 2009, Innez Tulloch joined to play bass guitar, while Susan Milanovic took over on drums. Feathers shared the stage with international artists such as Earthless, Vivian Girls, and Best Coast, alongside Australian acts including Witch Hats.
Their only full-length release, Hunter's Moon, came out through Bon Voyage in October 2011. The album received airplay on Australian community radio stations like Brisbane's 4ZZZ, where it reached the top position on the weekly top 20 new releases chart. Reviewers commended the record for its catchy lo-fi dream-pop melodies, compelling hooks, and strong vocal delivery. Although Feathers disbanded by 2015, they occasionally reunited for special performances. Following the group's dissolution, Helena Papageorgiou became a member of Black Vacation starting in 2016.
