There are few more humble beginning than Feeding People. Headed by nineteen-year-old Jessie Jones, her project attracted Chris Alfaro of Free the Robots to produce some of their earliest recordings which were the borderline between humble and ghetto. Those recordings were done in one take in a 6'x10' walk-in closet with the mics taped to broom handles taped to fire extinguishers. Despite all that....authenticity...Feeding People managed to be the second band ever to be invited to play the ultra-hip Low End Theory club and shared the stage with none other than Thom Yorke. Not a bad start.
Their sophomore album, Island Universe, was recorded and produced by Jonny Bell of The Crystal Antlers and Hanni El Khatib and very likely not recorded with quite as much duct tape. Island Universe drops on Feb. 5, 2013, but you, friends, can get a listen here.
