The Wooden Birds
DOWNLOAD: “Sugar” – The Wooden Birds (mp3)
Hey, I was just listening to the debut record by The Wooden Birds, and I realized that they are on tour right now and more specifically they are playing Union Hall tonight! If you’re in the Park Slope area this evening, I highly recommend that you check them out (look for me, I’ll be the guy with the camera). Their new album, Magnolia, is pretty great and it comes out on May 12 on Barsuk Records. For those of you not familiar with the band (I know I wasn’t), here’s a little snippet from their bio:
The Wooden Birds is the latest project from Andrew Kenny, best known as the singer/songwriter behind American Analog Set. Fans of AmAnSet will recognize Kenny’s voice and songwriting immediately, but the arrangements on magnolia are more vocal- and percussion-heavy than anything he’s done before. The band also includes Ola Podrida songwriter and David Gordon Green film score composer David Wingo, co-producer Chris Michaels, vocalist, guitarist, and AmAnSet guest artist Leslie Sisson, and Lymbyc Systym drummer Michael Bell.
