Release

"Land of the Innocent" is the first single taken to promote If All Now Here. It was initially released as a stream through the act's social media outlets in 2012, and later as a digital single on March 4, 2013. The single's b-side is a remix of the song by the Liverpool-based act Outfit. The Guardian wrote that the song "neatly expresses Feathers' desire to combine a dystopian future-world aesthetic with a pop sensibility and rhythms tough enough to pass muster in the realm of the industrial." [1] The music video for the song was directed by Allie Avital Tsypin, known for her work with School of Seven Bells and Marnie Stern, over two days in 108 degree heat [2] outside of Austin, Texas. The video premiered February 1, 2013 on UK blog The Line of Best Fit, [3] and was Bust Magazine's Video of the Day [4] on February 8, 2013.

Reception

Advance reviews of If All Now Here have been strongly positive, with Bust Magazine giving it a 4/5 rating.

Clash Magazine named Feathers "One to Watch," adding "‘If All Now Here’ has an epic atmosphere, thriving on huge moments, lavish textures and massive choruses." [5]

UK blog The VPME gave it a 9/10 rating, noting "if like us you like dark, intelligent pop music with an undercurrent of mystical eastern allure performed by, let’s face it, a band who would give Cleopatra a run for her money, then Feathers are the band for you. Definitely an early album of the year contender!" [6]

"Anastasia Dimou delivers tunes that are melodic, mysterious and often mesmerising"- NME [7]

"This is music designed to overpower and enthral. Sonically, it’s extremely impressive, and almost every song sounds massive." - thisisfakeDIY.co.uk [8]
