Our Wings May Be Featherless is the debut solo album from Suz Slezak, co-founder of the pioneering indie folk band David Wax Museum. The nine-track album was produced by Anthony da Costa (Joy Williams, Yola, Sarah Jarosz) and recorded throughout 2020 in Nashville and in Suz and David’s homebase of Charlottesville, VA. It is a stunning and poignant collection of songs, an emotional tour de force, displaying Suz's breathtaking lyricism, multi-instrumental breadth (on fiddle, accordion, piano, and harp), and her ability to weave some of life's most difficult moments (traumatic childbirth, a best friend's suicide, and her own public struggle with bipolar disorder) into an Americana masterpiece. From the first ethereal plucks of harp to the soaring and epic title-yielding closer "Now It Is Morning,” from the rollicking, radio-friendly "Beautiful Mess" rooted in a koan from mythologist Joseph Campbell, to the psychedelic, nature-infused "Telescope," Our Wings May Be Featherless boldly showcases an artist coming into her own as a much-needed voice for compassionate engagement with the world and the self.
