We are proud to present the third album by Ben Vida under his
Bird Show moniker following his Lightning Ghost album from
2006 on Kranky. Bird Show, Ben's alter ego, is an active
member of a whole host of experimental bands including Town
and Country, Pillow, Central Falls, Terminal 4 and Everyoned.
As Bird Show he truly taps into the US free-folk psyche
movement which has been gaining a lot of deserved praise and
attention in recent years.
His new album, which is untitled, contains a whole host of
instruments including: Hammond XB-2, microKorg, Moog Voyager,
Gibson SG, slit drum, pan pipes, shakers, Vietnamese jaw harp,
tambourines, ride cymbal, congas, wood flute, ring modulator,
elephant bells, violin, qraqeb, zither, voice, ten string
harp, frame drum, finger cymbals, triangle.... to name just a
few. It is his ability to fuse together all of these different
sounds which makes Bird Show such a unique artist and which
makes his new album such essential listening.
