Synopsis

Product Description

Band members currently reside on the outskirts of Raleigh, NC on a quiet plot of land. This organic, rural, simple way of life is reflected in their music, which is pure, spiritual, and perfectly unrefined. With each song, Bowerbirds remind us that we humans are part of something larger - something beautiful and sacred. "Hymns" was originally released in 2007 on Burly Time Records, and is now issued in an expanded form featuring two bonus tracks.

CD Reviews

Americana +

Joshua P. Washlow | 11/15/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bought the vinyl re-release recently as preparation for the Calexico show next weekend.

As an FYI, the vinyl re-release has the original 10 songs, not the 12 contained in the digital re-release. I personally prefer vinyl over digital, so the aforementioned did not weigh heavily.

This music clearly adds to the vast indie landscape. In addition to the obvious Americana influences I hear Broadway and Jeff Buckley stuffed in there. The lyrical content, esp. the environmentalism, is familiar but is spun well. I highly recommend this to fans of modern Americana and to fans of various forms of indie music. And of course I look forward to next weekend."

"Bowerbirds debut offers listeners a glimpse into their secluded North Carolina travel trailer existence. Hauntingly beautiful and catchy. They are great live, if you get the chance."
