They have proved to be one of the most successful bands to come out of Cornwall for quite some time and now A Blaze of Feather release a new double-A side single.

Dust In The Wind is an undoubted highlight of ABoF’s self-titled debut LP, and finds a single release alongside the previously unheard November, a song written by vocalist/songwriter Mickey Smith written exactly a year ago, and marking a year of Trump’s presidency.

Band leader and Penzance boy Mickey Smith said: "Dust In The Wind was written just after the British referendum, and November was written the day Trump was elected. The tone of both campaigns was so bloody disturbing I felt it left a lot of people feeling pretty heart sunk and headspun."

Mickey added: "Writing helped us find some clarity and we took that energy and put down both tunes live in the room together. The songs have become a focal point of our live shows ever since, moments of shared connection between folk from all walks. Music can raise spirits when that happens, transcend the spaces between and galvanise feelings in strange ways. No doubt it's an important time for human expression to counter and connect positively as one people right now, so here we are."

This new release follows a hectic summer of introductory live shows for the band including a triumphant sold-out headline date at House of Vans in London, and stand-out performances at this year’s festivals including Citadel, Latitude, Boardmasters and Haldern Pop.

A Blaze of Feather is the music of Ben Howard’s long-standing guitarist and friend Mickey Smith, and aided by the same, sprawling six-piece band featuring fellow Cornish members Richard Thomas and Nat Wason.
