If you’ve been reading regularly for the past few weeks, The Feel b ad Hit of the Winter should be a familiar name to you. After all, they contributed a sublime track to the Proud compilation album (which you should really buy after you get these guys’ EP.)
The Kansas City (MO)-based band excels at creating dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes. These kinds of bands always impress me. There’s so much attention to detail — a little drum fill there, a lingering bass note here — that sounds so effortless. I’m sure it’s the result of an obsessive amount of practicing and tinkering. But the end result pays off: The Feel Bad Hit of the Winter have released a gorgeous example of the literary direction a guitar, bass, and drum kit can take.
