The Bowerbirds

I heard these dudes on Sirius. They are from north cakalack. I am liking them. Its mellow, acoustic and pretty melodic. They incorporate accordion and piano in too. Lots of fingerpicking on the guitar. They remind me a bit of the decemberists. They've got a nice raw sound on a lot of tracks, almost like they have a hanging mic in the studio giving the drums more of a live effect.

Here are two albums:

Upper Air (check out the track "northern Lights", I feel it)

  1. Good stuff, but I think the mic is under a table in the corner of the room, equidistant from the adjoining walls. I need to put up some tunes now that school is out.
