Topic: Felt (band)


  
  Torb and Reiner millinery - History of felt
Felt has been used for producing headwear for many centuries and is perhaps the oldest textile material.
In the 18th Century Beaver Felt was still the preferred material for headwear, although a mixture of felts, beaver and wool, beaver and fur felt, became increasingly popular for the less expensive hats.
Hats made from Beaver felt were to see a marked decline in the mid 1800s and gradually became replaced by the silk hat, followed by fur felt hats and wool felt hats.

 Denim (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A single, "Summer Smash", was to have been released in the summer of that year, but despite promotional copies being distributed, it was not released - supposedly due to the death of Princess Diana in a car crash the week it should have been in the shops[1].

 EvilSponge: Albums: Stains On A Decade by Felt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Felt was mostly the project of "Lawrence" (he didn't use his last name, kinda like "Prince", or "Madonna", or "Alf" i guess).
Cherry Red Records, who were home to Felt for a large portion of their career, plan to re-issue the long out-of-print Felt albums during 2003 and 2004, and, in order to kick off their re-issue campaign, they comissioned Lawrence to gather his favorite tracks onto a compilation.
Felt misses the guitar of Deebank, and, without him, they are a mediocre band.

 Felt Biog
Felt were essentially the brainchild of one man, Lawrence (no surname), one of music's more eccentric characters.
Ballad of the Band was Lawrence's reaction to Deebank's leaving, and not a particularly complimentary one at that.
Felt returned to the idea of 6 track 30 minute albums for Poem that is generally regarded as their best album.

 Felt (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After firmly establishing themselves on the indie scene, Felt recruited the services of Robin Guthrie as producer for their album, 'Ignite the Seven Cannons' which remains one of the group's most popular albums (although it apparently left Deebank unimpressed).
Guthrie's most notable influence is arguably heard in the single Primitive Painters, which offers the listener a Guthrie infused 'sonic cathedral of sound.' Felt are often cited as a major influence by Belle and Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch, as well as by American alternative rock group The Tyde.

 Felt : Me and a Monkey on the Moon - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Felt always came across as incredibly remote and icy.
The record sounds like Lawrence's autobiography, with songs about childhood, family, lost love, and the end of Felt; eight of the ten songs have "I" in the first line and they are all sung in a voice aching with loss and regret.
It all works to create a rich and heartfelt farewell to Felt, full of sentiment but not sentimental -- the sound of a band reaching its potential and kissing it goodbye.

 TrouserPress.com :: Felt
Felt settled down and in on the better-produced Splendour of Fear (like the debut, a six-song 12-inch), unwinding the guitars into a gentle mantra-like caress with no sharp corners.
Moving to the Creation label, Felt — by this time a stable quartet including keyboardist Martin Duffy and stalwart drummer Gary Ainge — was enormously productive in 1986, beginning with Ballad of the Band.
As it proved to be the band's swansong, Me and a Monkey on the Moon ends Felt on a superb high note.

 Felt
Stains On A Decade is the first Felt compilation to combine their Cherry Red and Creation releases, and the title emphasises Felt's paradox of being the quintessential eighties band in terms of existence (1980 - 1989) but musically never approaching the cursed "eighties band" cliché.
I saw Felt a dozen times in their last three years and feel incredibly fortunate to have witnessed a band whose work is now being revered and acclaimed by bands such as Saint Etienne, Death In Vegas, Belle & Sebastian and many others.

It is not strictly a rock band, as it blends country and western with hillbilly music into a rock format.
What is most amazing about The Band is that, despite the packed house, the amplification and the praise that has been thrown at them, the musicians still play like five friendly old coots picking away in the back of some Kentucky barroom.

"Bands like Fugazi, Promise Ring, Sunny Day, Quicksand, Jawbox and us, we were all called 'Emo.' To me, it became ironic, and there was even a sub term, 'Screamo.' But none of that has anything to do with what I felt was being relatively unedited with one's emotions.
On a recent tour with the band Thursday, he discovered the guys were Far fans, and they teamed up on stage to perform "Mother Mary" from Water and Solutions.
I think when bands stay together for fans or money or whatever it's just a bad idea and you can tell when they're not together for the music.
