Feather Beds is the solo work of Dublin-born, London-based artist/producer, Michael Orange. 'Really Disney' is the new single and comes with an animated video produced by Orange himself. The single also features an accompanying remix by Neil Tolliday from Bent.
His third full-length album, 'Softer Measures', is scheduled for release in 2023 on Strange Brew Records. Featuring 9 tracks, it will be his first album release since 2017.
Having been based in Montreal for a few years and then back to Dublin, the new album sees Orange in London full-time and adopting a more austere approach to songwriting, incorporating elements of noise and drone, alongside a backdrop of jangly guitars, homemade samples and washed out harmonies.
Taking on production duties himself and working again with long-time collaborator, Stephen Shannon (Mount Alaska, Strands) on mixing duties, the new album is one that will be highly anticipated.
