A post-punk band that built a dedicated following with atmospheric rock and poetic lyrics.
Start with 'Birdmen' for that jangly guitar sound, then try 'Crystall Ball' for the more haunting side. Both show what made their catalog stick around.
Felt's 1985 album 'Primitive Painters' gave them their most recognizable song, which shares the album's name. That track, along with others like 'Birdmen' and 'Crystall Ball,' had a haunting, introspective quality. They developed a dedicated following for their particular blend of atmospheric rock and poetic lyrics, even as they stayed largely outside the mainstream.
Felt formed in 1979 with Lawrence as their frontman. Their lineup shifted over time, with musicians like Martin Duffy on keyboards and Maurice Deebank on guitar passing through. They kept making music through the 1980s, adding songs like 'Lost In The Abyss' and 'Meu Mundo' to their catalog.
