- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
On June 23, 2009 Volcom Entertainment released the band's second full length
album, Uncanny Valley. Like the Outer Upper Inner EP, the album was recorded
on vintage 16-track tape machines at Mitch Easter's Fidelitorium Studio and
at the band's studio in downtown Raleigh. The name Uncanny Valley comes from
a theory which was introduced by Japanese roboticist, Masahiro Mori, in 1970
to describe the phenomena by which human beings become more unsettled by
robots or other human facsimiles in direct proportion to how lifelike they
appear. Since their inception in 2005, Birds Of Avalon have toured
extensively, sharing the stage with bands such as The Flaming Lips, Ted Leo
and the Pharmacists, The Fucking Champs, Big Business, Oneida, Mudhoney,
Valient Thorr, Destroyer, Federation X, and Drunk Horse. They have also
boogied down on the stage in support of The Hold Steady.
