This album is a collection of folk songs and hymns from an imaginary place called Featherland. Featherland is the first recordings made by two improvisers working primarily in Tokyo.

Takashi Masubuchi is a guitarist influenced by blues, folk, minimal music, and Morton Feldman.

Ayami Suzuki is a vocalist with roots in Celtic music and ambient music. She also works as a songwriter.

Masubuchi and Suzuki performed as a duo for the first time on April 24th 2021 at Permian in Tokyo. The title track is a live recording from that session. The duo played again on August 28th 2021 at OTOOTO, also in Tokyo. The first six tracks are cut from that live performance.

All performances are completely improvised, acoustic, and performed without the use of microphones.
