North Carolina’s Bowerbirds‘ new album, The Clearing, is one of our favorites so far this year.  Coincidentally, the band recently performed for North Shore Sessions in the warehouse district of downtown Minneapolis, singing their songs Overcome With Light and Brave World.  Rarely has a song (Overcome With Light) sung by a band suited a sound space so well.  Warehouses simply rule for sound. Check it out and then check out a video about the band’s making of The Clearing (these are real humans), which you can purchase HERE or on Dead Oceans Records.
