| | Bird & The Bee Bird And The Bee CD Bird & The Bee Discography of CDs
There have been many duos in the history of pop music, but few, if any, like the Bird and the Bee. Consisting of Greg Kurstin (all instruments except horns) and Inara George (vocals, and daughter of late Little Feat guitarist Lowell George), Bird and the Bee craft sleek, refined pop songs rich with edgy humor, all seductively conveyed by George's distinctively cool, feathery voice. With its elegant mix of alt-rock catchiness (think Blondie, XTC, Stereolab) and some Brazilian bossa nova touches, THE BIRD AND THE BEE is a noteworthy debut disc.Rolling Stone (p.80) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The tracks are expertly constructed and often packed with ideas..."
Q (p.117) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[G]overned by melodic electro-pop bearing distinct echoes of bossa nova....A perfect setting for George's intoxicatingly sweet voice." Bird & The Bee Bird And The Bee Songs Bird And The Bee Review

Purchase Bird And The Bee CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Feist Let It Die CD (2004)
Bird And The Bee album
 $8.49    
Jazz-influenced and classically schooled, Feist possesses a voice with a distinctive intimacy often lacking in trained singers. This warmth complements the well-orchestrated compositions on LET IT DIE with an almost voyeuristic atmosphere, akin to hearing someone singing herself to sleep. On the bluesy spiritual "Lonely Lonely," rhythmic handclaps and sparsely picked guitar accompany Feist's haunting lilt, invoking the ghosts of Appalachia, while the Bee Gees' "Love You Inside Out" (here titled "Inside and Out") is set to an up-tempo disco beat. Feist's vocal agility ...

| | Annuals Be He Me CD (2006)
Bird And The Bee music CDs
$12.65
One hesitates to sing the praises of every young, shaggy band of Southern eccentrics making rollicking, PET SOUNDS-inspired albums, for fear of being graced and abandoned by yet another pretender to the Neutral Milk Hotel throne. But Annuals leader Adam Baker, just 20 years old at the release of this 2006 album, seems so preternaturally self-possessed, and his songs radiate such involuntary brilliance, that the listener has to trust that this is the beginning of a long and fruitful creative arc.
The songs are recorded in dense layers of electric and acoustic sound, with gentle synth swooshes and muffled vocals. They possess a pastoral, organic quality, and often explode in the middle into an exuberant, sparks-generating noise that reflects joy, awe, and angst, like Van Morrison's ASTRAL WEEKS as performed by Arcade Fire. The best ...
| | Amy Winehouse Back To Black CD (2006)
Bird And The Bee songs
$12.49
BACK TO BLACK's production is an artful blend of sophisticated '60s R&B and 21st-century stylistic poaching, with "Tears Dry on Their Own" incorporating elements of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," and Winehouse sounding like Billie Holiday fronting a reggae band on the old-fashioned cheating song "Just Friends." Densely packed with musical history and often conjuring a dark, Portishead-esque atmosphere, BACK TO BLACK is a sumptuous-sounding collection freighted with blunt confessionals of a lush life.
It doesn't take much listening to Amy Winehouse's 1960s pop period piece to realize that this is a tribute with an edge--nice girls back then didn't sing about boozing and rehab. Since her 2003 debut album, FRANK, Winehouse has been a frequent presence on the gossip pages of the U.K. tabloids, and ...
| | National Boxer CD (2007)
Bird And The Bee album
$10.15 
On 2007's BOXER, the National's second full-length album for the venerable Beggars Banquet label, the Brooklyn-based indie-rock act follows up the lauded ALLIGATOR with another round of melancholy guitar-driven tunes. Led by deep-voiced vocalist Matt Berninger, who often sounds hung-over yet disarmingly articulate, the band excels at brooding mid-tempo songs, as exemplified by the world-weary "Fake Empire," which combines political and personal themes, and "Mistaken for Strangers," a track that recalls NYC peers Interpol, thanks in part to the punchy approach of shared producer Peter ...

| | Aswad New Chapter Of Dub CD (1982) Reissue
Bird And The Bee music CDs
$10.09
Spacey effects, rippling currents of sound, and disembodied echoing voices are the defining characteristics of Aswad's excellent NEW CHAPTER IN DUB. Otherworldly sounds and synthesized horns (which bear all the pleasing qualities of early-'80s analog synth sounds) coat the opening "Dub Fire." Aggressively echoed vocals spike "Flikaflame," and "Zion ...
| | Chris Murphy On A Blue Afternoon CD (2005)
Bird And The Bee songs
$12.49 
The best of a series of conceptually connected albums released by Kufala Recordings in 2004-2005, On a Blue Afternoon, subtitled "Jazz Violin Music," sets Chris Murphy's violin in front of a basic small-combo rhythm section consisting of bassist David J. Carpenter and drummer D.J. Bonebrake. (Yes, the guy from X, who's always been a jazz player at heart.) There's nothing fancy on ...

| | Tanner, Patrik & The Faraway Men Full Auto Shut-Off CD (2007)
Bird And The Bee CD music
$17.75
After releasing 2005’s Soft as a full-fledged solo effort, Patrik Tanner re-emerges this winter with his long-time backing band, The Faraway Men. Never one to let the grass grow between his toes, their fourth release – Full Auto Shut-off – may well represent Tanner’s most radical departure to date in both scope and sentiment. Whereas Soft was a nuanced, structured and unabashedly sentimental exploration of love and mortality, Full Auto Shut-off expands viciously on those same themes, but with all the subtlety of a ten-ton truck. Unearthing secrets, suspicions, old wounds and new fears, Tanner entertains both daydreams and ...
