The Features
“Content”
Live @ Brooklyn Bowl
May 2nd, 2011My good friend and fellow NYC-based Features fan Davis captured this bit of a new song at one of the band’s recent New York City concerts. I don’t know what this is but I’m hoping that one of you, internet citizen, has the details! If you know the name of this song, please email damageisdonetumblr[at]gmail[dot]com and give me the skinny! If this song is a mystery to everyone, then I will wait for the release of the band’s third LP Wildnerness to identify it. Unless this song is newer than that batch of songs and is already in rotation…which would not be impossible.
Stylistically, this song fits with “Rambo” as it is tight rhythmically and has a instantly hooky keyboard part floating above it. Other than that, I’m still trying to get a read on this jam and only having the last 80-odd seconds of it isn’t much. But it’s something!
UPDATE:
About seven minutes after posting this, the awesome Katie cleared up the mystery for me, like some reverse (but equally cool) Robert Stack. The song is called “Content” and it is the opening track off the band’s upcoming release, Wilderness (July 26th can’t come soon enough!).
A VERSION APPEARS ON:

Send song requests
The Features are a Nashville, Tennessee based rock band. The purpose of this Tumblr is to provide a comprehensive and interactive database
of the Features' music. The blog is named after the Features song "The Damage Is Done."
If you would like any of the unreleased songs featured on this site, you can download them yourself or email me for copies. I am not able to send every Features song I own in one go, mainly because I don't have a way of hosting all the files, and I also gotta keep some song tricks up my blog sleeve. Specific song requests are the easiest ones to fulfill. It might take a little while to respond but I will try my best. I will not send songs that have been officially released in any capacity, so buy their albums.
