March 1998 :: Music N-R :: Pulling Birds (James Mann)
Pulling Birds County Fair Pulling Birds fly comfortably in Matchbox 20 or Eve 6-land, but with a bit more muscle and grit, which is certainly welcome in the "alternative rawk" genre. Singer Wade McMullen has a strong presence, and I bet these guys are fun live. "Fences" features the backing vocals ...

August 1998 :: Music A-B :: Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire (Gregory Schaefer)
Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire Thrills Ryko The gritty root, heart, and soul of that "indie-'20s sounding jazz combo, blue grass, juke joint, semi-swing machine" sound is masterfully captured on this album. This sound was largely popularized by the Squirrel Nut Zippers (some members sit in with Andrew ...

October 1999 :: Music A-B :: Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire (James Mann)
Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire Oh! The Grandeur Rykodisc Decadent and snotty, the new release from Squirrel Nut Zippers violin-man Andrew Bird recalls the Hot Club of France, with 15 slyly twisted tunes. Bird's vocals mesh with the guitar of Colin Bunn perfectly, creating an aura of sophistication and ...

The Swimming Hour (Rykodisc). Review by James Mann.
ANDREW BIRD'S BOWL OF FIRE THE SWIMMING HOUR Rykodisc They oughta put Andrew Bird in the freakin' Smithsonian -- he's a national treasure. Not only does he help form the Squirrel Nut Zippers, he also finds time to release records like this little bit of odd genius. Seemingly at home playing anything ...

It Isn't the Fall (Loose Thread). Review by Stein Haukland.
THE LESSER BIRDS OF PARADISE IT ISN'T THE FALL Loose Thread Although this is only the second album from Mark Janka's The Lesser Birds of Paradise -- following 2000's A Suitable Frame -- they have already managed to place themselves at the forefront of Chicago's thriving alt-country scene. Their lush ...

... Eye Dazzler 1992-1996 Burnt Hair It's unfortunate that retrospectives (particularly indie ones) often suffer due to outdated recording technology. The songs are tuneful and well-written, and while not lacking in distinction never really hit you like you know they could. The music itself is slightly ...

Birds of Pray (Radioactive). Review by Daniel Mitchell.
LIVE BIRDS OF PRAY Radioactive I'm guessing that the majority of today's 13-20 year old crowd probably missed out on Live's enormous success during the early 1990s. Their breakthrough album Throwing Copper was an album of anthemic rockers that offered a nice change of pace from the grunge that polluted ...

We're Birds (Motherload). Review by Stein Haukland.
EL GATO WE'RE BIRDS Motherload Despite having been around since 1995, this is the first full-length release from this four-piece from Denton, Texas. With their peculiar and arresting brand of complex, lo-fi psychedelic indie pop, El Gato are one of the most exciting bands to watch these days, and this ...

Bird's Best Bop on Verve (Verve). Review by Bill Campbell.
CHARLIE PARKER BIRD'S BEST BOP ON VERVE Verve After you finish reading this, you'll probably think I went the punk route. But what can I possibly say about this man that you haven't already heard? Any attempt at enlightenment on my part would only make me sound ignorant. There's no way to be erudite ...

Here is Night, Brothers, Here the Birds Burn (Jagjaguwar). Review by Troy Jewell.
LOVE LIFE HERE IS NIGHT, BROTHERS, HERE THE BIRDS BURN Jagjaguwar Let's play a game. Imagine this: what animal would you get if the seedy, urban life of, say, London or New York, mixed freely with the stereotypical-back-alley-toothless-wonders of, say, Alabama? A Love Life. Yes, a love life. Certainly ...
