The Feather
2024 marks the grand return of The Feather, the solo project of Thomas Medard, the iconic voice of Belgian band Dan San. In June, he revealed a captivating cover of Everything But The Girl’s “Missing,” offering a light, summer-tinged preview. Now, he returns with brand-new material: two singles, “See You Again” and “Always You.” Both tracks were produced, recorded, and mixed by Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear bassist and collaborator of Twin Shadow, Dirty Projectors, Moses Sumney, Solange, Aaron Parks…). Taylor also lends his vocals to the chorus of “See You Again.”
After multiple back-and-forth trips between Belgium and Spain—where Taylor now resides—the finishing touches were added in Sweden and Los Angeles. The powerful, soaring drums of Thomas Hedlund (Phoenix, Cult of Luna) enrich “See You Again,” while the jazzy, organic rhythms of Kyle Crane (M. Ward, Feist, Peter Bjorn and John…) elevate “Always You.” Both tracks were mastered by Grammy Award-winner Joe LaPorta, known for his work with David Bowie, Vampire Weekend, Fleet Foxes, and Beach House.
Following a debut album, Invisible (2013), which brought him to major international stages (Ancienne Belgique, La Maroquinerie, FME and FEQ festivals in Canada), and ROOM (2020), a home-crafted album praised by critics (Focus Vif 8/10, Le Soir, Moustique), Thomas Medard enters a new phase. Opening up to prestigious collaborations, he shapes an ever more refined and ambitious indie pop sound.
This comeback also marks a new chapter for The Feather: his signing with Dutch label PolyMoon, joining a roster that includes Noa Lee and Rosa Butsi.
