“Sultry vocals, and lush, dreamy melodies are what The Open Feel are all about. What originally started as a songwriting collaboration between Katie Harris and Tom Brayton took on a life of its own and a band was created. They are currently recording their follow-up for a 2013 release, and some of us are waiting not-so-patiently to hear it.” Victor Alfieri - Word Krapht

Pushing Back

"When the Open Feel hit our eardrums with their self-titled EP in 2011, it was a tidal wave of ’90s nostalgia thanks to their combination of shoegaze and roaring rock. However, Katie Harris and Tom Brayton don’t just flash back or wear their influences, they’ve revitalized it with dream-pop in the cleanest manner. The duo has never been a band to embellish their tunes with unnecessary frills; Harris provides the sultry vocal melodies while Brayton keeps new songs such as “Wake This Dream” driving with his percussion and heavy bass lines. The fundamentals are there, and each element has grown stronger with every single. When all your friends and their mothers start blasting the Open Feel on their favorite alternative station soon, don’t say we didn’t tell you so." -by Seraphina Lotkhamnga, Buzz Bands LA

Wake This Dream

"Our friends The Open Feel have released their newest track called Sidewalk Zombies, which we’ve got for you to listen to hear today on Indie Minded. As always, they do not disappoint!" -IndieMinded

"Light and breezy Indie-Pop that goes far beyond any lengthy spontaneity, vocalist Katie Harris captures the mood with a lush crepuscular quality that highlights the band’s tremendous flair for dramatic rhythm…" -Mojophenia

"Maybe it’s me, but can you ever really get enough of Katie Harris’ vocals? She has that ability to reach deep down into the nooks and crannies of your soul. Her voice is smooth and sensual, yet raw and emotionally charged all at the same time. Tom Brayton is more than solid carrying the entire backline." -WordKrapht

Something in Red

"The swirling, spinning interaction between the guitar and bass riffs in the chorus or “Transition” draw the listener in, until they’re gently laid to rest in the verses."

The Open Feel - Transition

“Detach” is destined to be the track played during the climax of a future romantic comedy. In fact, the entire EP has a very cinematic quality to it, similar to The Boxer Rebellion’s work in Going the Distance."
- Morgan, Enter the Shell 

"Harris is the primary singer and guitarist on the four-track release and her powerful vocals help anchor keepers “Strength,” “Still Here” and “Detach.”
- Jeffrey Sisk, The Daily News

The Open Feel - Still Here

We're the Devil

Dead town bitch blues


www.soundcloud.com/dbparade 

the chords are all gone now we stole every song from the man
peacefully minded we breathe through the holes in a can
much like the holes of my love

the swords were the answer a battle is never a gun
if moved to france would our song serve in place of a tongue?
or would the holes of your spirit make you run?

they water down forever in their call
the heroes won't come here any more
the ones i love the ones i abhor 
are bound to be sure,
 when lined at my door

the poor are down whenever kings are sure
the heroes won't come here any more
they're sitting close to babylon for war
it's sound and reform it's right near your door

Heroes(unfinished diamond el fonsbrook track)

“Sultry vocals, and lush, dreamy melodies are what The Open Feel are all about.” Victor Alfieri - Word Krapht

"They are a winged insect with a shotgun; graceful and pure, yet armed with an arsenal of potential fury." Sam Liddicott - Music Musings and Such
