Release Notes:
Biirdie spins sweeping anthems told in California semi-gloss, with twinges of
West Coast Country and big-hearted Southern balladry. It's an album about place
and location, about the way that geography affects us. California itself figures
heavily as a character on the record; two of the band's members are Southern
ex-pats and the lyrics often address the bewilderment of finding oneself
transplanted to Los Angeles. The music falls somewhere in the midst of Fleetwood
Mac, Grandaddy, CSNY, Rilo Kiley, and Brill Building pop, but that's by no means
a complete list. This is ambitious orchestral music decked out in gorgeous
harmonies, ringing pianos, and some pretty killer guitar work that knows a thing
or two about dynamism.
