History
Feathers were created by Michelle Brown (vocals, guitar, bass guitar) and Helena Papageorgiou in 2006. They were joined in late 2009 by Innez Tulloch on bass guitar, and Susan Milanovic after their previous drummer left the group. Feathers played shows with international acts including Earthless, Vivian Girls and Best Coast. They also played alongside Australian artists including Witch Hats.

Feathers released Hunter's Moon in October 2011 through label Bon Voyage. Hunter's Moon received airplay on Australian community radio stations including 4ZZZ Brisbane, where it came in at number 1 on the weekly top 20 new releases. Melyssa Mineo of Obscure Sound found it to be "infectious lo-fi dream-pop" showing "different moods and well-executed hooks, not to mention some great vocal performances." The Thousands' Chris Campion felt, "[they] balance the best elements of genres ranging from 60s psych to 80s jangle and dream pop with effortless swagger and ease." By 2015 the group had disbanded except for occasional one-off shows. As from 2016 Papageorgiou was a member of the band Black Vacation.
