All-girl drone-punk three-piece Feature (featuring members of Sauna Youth and Slowcoaches) have just this week released their EP 'Culture of the Copy' on Tye Die Tapes, via cassette and digital download.
The four-track cassette is a follow-
up to their 'Memory' debut of last year. The new EP has been on the cards since Tye Die Tapes heard their first demos almost two years ago and contacted the band wanting to do a release.
Inspired by the likes of Vision Fortune, Ariel Pink, The Breeders and Sleater-Kinney , 'Culture of the
Copy' was recorded at Tye Die Tapes HQ in Sheffield in February, and features three new songs plus a cover of Supergrass’s ‘Caught By The Fuzz’.
The EP lyrics were inspired by the book Culture of the Copy by Hillel Schwarz, a cultural history of twins, doubles, copies, imposters and
Doppelgangers. Side A, made up of 'Psalms' and 'Reeling', as well as cover 'Fuzz' on the B-Side, are just as heavy as Feature have always been, - just twice as fast. 'Twins' has all the chugging rediscovered pop-single feel that the songs on the first EP had, but is also more refined with a bigger sound.
