Been listening to the Bowerbirds a lot over the last few days, falling in love with the new album, Upper Air, so delicate and powerful with its sparse arrangements, gorgeous vocals, and dazzling images, all of an inherent sadness but with a sort of joy, too, and all beautifully recorded, with sometimes stunning, really frightening, dynamics. You should hear it.
"In Our Talons" is from their first album, Hymns for a Dark Horse. In the future, I'll write more about Upper Air.
