The great thing about music is we all have plenty of blind spots, which means we're all open to the discovery of new things or art that challenges us!
But there are the glaring blindspots that are nigh inexplicable—like finding out one of your favorite bands on the planet had a side project purportedly performed by puppets in 2017 you were completely unaware of, despite meeting members of the band numerous times and growing an honest friendship over the years with people working within their camp. And, you know, thinking you owned just about every piece of music created by members of that band since, as we mentioned, they are one of your favorites on the planet.
So it was that I discovered that members of Sloan were also creating music as Feltworth, "a 4-piece rock/pop group [of] former children's entertainers" personified by puppets.*
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?
Well, now I do, and now you do, so we can both bask in the glory that is the sole 7-inch Feltworth released, and VOILÀ it's like hearing brand new Sloan tunes in 2020!
*And boy oh boy do they have some thoughts on Tame Impala...
