New Eureka Birds Album

Released a few days ago, Strangers is the new album by Baltimore band Eureka Birds. It hovers somewhere between cerebral indie pop and damaged art-rock, with echoes of orchestral space rock, Ariel Pink’s oddness and Yo La Tengo’s literacy. However, rather than being one big mess, the record is a surprisingly tight and coherent one, and one that reveals more of its many charms with each … Continue reading New Eureka Birds Album

MM Shorts 467: Bambi

To be honest we nearly didn’t listen to this, let alone post it due to the terrible band name, but despite the images of sickly cute doe-eyed fawns, the music is actually far more robust – their upcoming new single Reap From The Dying Love is filled with guitar riffs, reverbs, groovy beats and stunning vocals.

Introducing >>> My Darling Fury

The dreamy soundscapes of My Darling Fury are both haunting and beautiful, reminiscent of acts such as Andrew Bird meets Fleet Foxes meets a bit of Rufus Wainwright. The vocal melodic phrases are long and wide-ranging, placing a strong emphasis on evocative lyrics with a broad emotional span. The use of bowed double bass with effects adds atmosphere and a sometimes psychedelic quality. Two guitarists juxtapose … Continue reading Introducing >>> My Darling Fury
