All Music Guide REVIEW: Feather Box is one of the numerous projects of cult singer/songwriter Damien Youth, issuing the JUNO'S GARDEN album in 1996. And it is simultaneously Damien Youth's most normal and atypical work. Instead of the deep-in-the-forest folk-psychedelic music that he plays on virtually every other record with which he's been associated, with Feather Box he sang and wrote college-radio friendly guitar rock, not far removed from the countless R.E.M. imitators of the 1980s and 1990s. Even for that genre, it's just a competent face in the crowd, though hints of his more idiosyncratic sensibilities pop up here and there. Damien Youth himself has admitted the group was an attempt to go commercial; dissatisfied with the results, he left the band after the album's release. (2 ½ stars) -- Richie Unterberger
