In 1999, The Features recorded an album with producer Matt Mahaffey (Self) but the album never saw the light of day. The band regrouped and eventually signed to Universal Records, toured with Kings of Leon and found a healthy career of independent success but this album was never heard... until now!
The Mahaffey Sessions 1999 were sourced from the original ADAT tapes at Matt Mahaffey's studio and remastered for digital and vinyl by John Baldwin. Artwork was created by renowned artist Sam Smith based on the band's real equipment and the record was pressed in Smyrna, TN... as close to the bands hometown of Murfreesboro as you can get.
