http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo_kP38hbZQ Featherface erupted in the Houston scene in 2010 with catchy synth and effervescent psych-pop hooks, earning a top spot in locals’ hearts. Today the group released a new music video for “I Saw You Dancing” from their first full-length album Actual Magic. The video reflects the more gritty-rock qualities of the band, featuring an 80s throwback battle between […]
