We’ve recently been sky-high on Athens’ Futurebirds and their fantastic 2013 album, Baba Yaga.  Musically, Futurebirds melds the influences of Neil Young, REM, and Band of Horses, along with hints of Grizzly Bear, and not necessarily in that order.  Add to that the signature pedal steel of Dennis Love, and four-part harmonies, and we are all-in (as we’ve written before).    To get a quick immersion, check out the band as they perform Tan Lines and Death Awaits at KEXP below.  Then imagine the hirsute band performing the songs in their fans’ favorite setting:  live in either a small club or at a festival (the venue is irrelevant).  We can’t wait to catch ’em live.  If you like the videos below, go HERE to catch the full performance.
