Lovely Feathers Discography of CDs

Lovely Feathers albums The second album by Montreal's Lovely Feathers starts with a song called "Pope John Paul" that sounds rather like a modern-day twee pop take on those multi-part songs that Paul McCartney specialized in between Abbey Road and Band on the Run, where bits that sound like scraps of several different uncompleted songs are stitched together into one pop-tastic whole.

Musically, things are pretty seriously amped up -- it's not a coincidence ...
