Biography
But those recordings were made on the quick and the cheap, with nylon-stringed guitars, fiddle lines and drum patterns that became comfortable. You could imagine these songs as old stateside standards, because, really, that’s how they sounded—campfire anthems sung by a couple clinging to very deep love.
The Clearing is the third album by the Bowerbirds, and as is often the case for bands that have found steady success, they had more time and better resources to make it. This is a bigger record, with bolder sounds, a broader scope, and more complicated songs. “Tuck the Darkness In” for example, surges in its final two minutes with a wall of electric guitars and drums, while other tracks feature restless vibraphones, pianos and drums. Thing is, these songs don’t cede to the increased production demands. The guitars and strings, codas and bridges simply make these thoughts more urgent, more vital and more necessary, but not one bit less permanent.

Their new album sounds as if Devendra Banhart was recording with the Magik Magik Orchestra. I absolutely love it.

the fact that they're called "BowerBIRDS" and that Phil Moore sounds like Andrew Bird on some tracks made me think this was a side project of Mr. Bird himself, but in any case... they're pretty good
