You may have heard whispers of a mysterious new band appearing on the billing for festivals in Europe.
A Blaze of Feather have been a source of speculation for the past month, since they cropped up alongside established names like Michael Kiwanuka and Glass Animals on the lineups for Citadel and Latitude Festivals in the UK – despite having no music to their name.
Music fans on reddit have been trying to work out who was behind the project (and getting pretty damn close).
It’s now been revealed that A Blaze of Feather is the new project from artist Mickey Smith and singer/songwriter Ben Howard.
Also involved are India Bourne, Nat Wason, Rich Thomas, and former Hiss Golden Messenger drummer Kyle Keegan. The new band’s debut EP is due out on 5 May but you can hear first track Carousel below.
