1) we are a band in bloomington, indiana. we are three male types. we don’t look too good but we try real hard.
coursing through the songs is the voice of frontman micheal bushman, who shivers and wails like the midwestern equivalent of will sheff, evoking the okkervil river frontman’s vocal delivery, as well as his keen sense of imagery. on their eponymous track, the band speed up the tempo and put a crescendo in the middle, letting their head down and creating a song that should very well put them in the company of indie-pop/rock faves like nada surf. but then again, on a song like “fort fun,” the band– rounded out by andrew shaw and alexander kroh– test the dynamics of quiet-loud-quiet song structure with their heaviest song, which moves at a glacial pace, proving that its the slow ones that feel the heaviest.
2) Redbird is the title of a recording by Jeffrey Foucault, Kris Delmhorst and Peter Mulvey. All three are artists on the Signature Sounds label and regularly toured together. Foucault and Delmhorst are married. The trio worked out many of the songs on the road allowing them to record the album in a scant three days.
