SATURDAY 5TH MAY // SATURDAY 5TH MAY

One Inch Badge presents:

BOWERBIRDS

The music of North Carolina's Bowerbirds has always seemed strangely eternal. Coruscated by Beth Tacular's bird song and Phil Moore's environmentalist empathy, it paints a pained portrait of love shrouded in doubt as perfectly as Cash, Dylan or Cohen ever have. These feel like more than songs; they feel like treasures.

But their recordings are made on the quick and the cheap, with nylon-stringed guitars, fiddle lines and drum patterns that became comfortable. You can imagine these songs as old stateside standards, because, really, that's how they sound--campfire anthems sung by a couple clinging to very deep love.

Now back with their third album on cult US label Dead Oceans; "The Clearing" is a bigger record, with bolder sounds and a broader scope. "Tuck The Darkness In" surges in its final two minutes with a wall of electric guitars and drums. "Hush" plays hide and seek with restless vibraphones, pianos and drums, Beth's voice again providing a core of resilience in an otherwise ominous atmosphere.
