Daily Diversion – Bird Names at the Empty Bottle

Nov 7, 2011, 10:08am loudloop
Daily Diversion – Bird Names at the Empty Bottle Bird Names And now three reasons to shake and bake on over to the Empty Bottle this fine autumn evening... 1. It takes a few moments for Bird Names' brand of bizarro-pop to truly sink in. The Chicago-via-Athens, GA group's disheveled melodies, whimsical percussion and oddball vocals sound like a mismatch during a casual listen, but the focused are rewarded with slinky tempos and an ethereal delivery. LISTEN: "I Caught the Bus to Shit Town Blues" [...]

[Guest Mixtape] Primitive Patterns

Oct 19, 2011, 10:12pm Ohmpark
[Guest Mixtape] Primitive Patterns Atlanta has quite a few record labels doing cool things right now, but one of the best new labels to crop up recently is Primitive Patterns. Their aesthetic seems to line up very close to my own taste. So give a listen to this great mix put together by Primitive Pattern's Adam Babar of Easily Suede and Faun And A Pan Flute .

Prince Rama and Bird Names / Garfield Artworks / 3.3.2011

Mar 16, 2011, 6:34am Draw Us Lines
Prince Rama and Bird Names / Garfield Artworks / 3.3.2011 Words by Brendan Sullivan This concert had a few interesting "firsts" for me. I don't think I've ever seen tablas played live before (except when my college roommate would jam along to recordings of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan ). I'd never seen a band feature a female drummer who stood while playing, let alone two such bands in a row. I'd never heard a band praise the previous band's set by saying that their "chakras were cleansed". I'd never seen one band call out for an encore from another one [...]

Bird Names, "The Beach at the Lake"

Feb 11, 2011, 12:00am Impose Magazine: Bytes
Bird Names, "The Beach at the Lake" There's a hole in our hearts where Captain Beefheart once loomed. He carved it out the first time we heard his gruff vocals and caught wind of his nonsensical melodies. It's the same space that Mark Tucker, Gary Wilson, and R. Stevie Moore have worked so feverishly to fill, but in the months since Mr. Van Vliet's death, we've been reminded once more of our drafty aorta. Allow Bird Names to fill it. It's likely you've read their press clippings and wondered how exactly pop was making an...

New Music – Bird Names 'Metabolism: Salute To The Energy Of The Sun'

Feb 7, 2011, 3:31pm brokenheartboy
Phelan LaVelle & David Lineal are the avant fringe pop duo that have beautifully come together to form Bird Names, out of Kayne West owned Chicago, via Athens, Georgia. Their new album titled Metabolism: A Salute to the Energy of the Sun is as quirky as it sounds. Brilliant experimental songs full of lo-fi recorded instrumentals [...]

Bird Names – Phantoms & Fortunes

Jan 18, 2011, 3:00pm 1146 miles
Bird Names – Phantoms & Fortunes When I first turned on Bird Names, the pop duo out of Athens, GA, I was a bit confused. Then I put my headphones on, and it clicked. This is an engaging, surround-sound psychedelic band. They are at once experimental and oddly retro, like something out of late 60s surf and noise rock. Imagine Passion Pit as a Lo-Fi garage rock band. I tend to prefer earthy sounds though (as opposed to sky-high electronic pop), and Bird Names is full of them. They are at their best when their hooks are immediate, and I really would recommend putting your headphones [...]

Recommended Friday Show: CMJ Day #4

Oct 22, 2010, 2:23am The New York Rockmarket
Recommended Friday Show: CMJ Day #4 It's time to face facts. You have some tough choices to make during the day on Friday. First of all, there's some great NYRM-approved bands playing at Cake Shop. Rooftop Vigilantes, Your Youth, and Yellow Ostrich. If that were a show during normal times, it would in and of itself be a can't-miss. I'm pretty sure this also has free Sierra Nevada. Then there's the monster BrooklynVegan show at Public Assembly, which also has free drinks and food, I believe. John Vanderslice, Times New Viking, Dom, Ty Segal, Oberhofer, Lower Dens, and The Luyas. That's oh-my-gosh-are-you-kidding-me- good. The Impose day show [...]

Bird Names - Sings The Browns

Feb 3, 2010, 10:38am Forest Gospel
Bird Names - Sings The Browns Bird Names Sings The Browns (2009, Upset The Rhythm) RIYL = Ariel Pink, Pumice, Smith Westerns Bird Names are incredibly weird fellows which is part of the reason why they are incredibly awesome. Seriously, they're out there. The second component to their incredible awesomeness is that they mix that weirdness with an unhealthy hankering for pop music. Sings The Browns , the follow up to the equally bizarre and equally enjoyable Open Relationship , is a continuation on the path to an aural pollution of the squawking, clunking, spitting and chirping variety.

Interview: BIRD NAMES

Jan 6, 2010, 5:07am rose quartz
Interview: BIRD NAMES Bird Names - People Should Get More Aware Chicago's Bird Names have made one heck of a pop record in Sings The Browns. I mean that in a couple of ways, the first being IT'S REALLY GOOD!!! and the second being it is massively labrynthian and joyfully cluttered with probably too many musical and cultural things like some toy castle made out of corduroy. Fits right into Upset The Rhythm , who summise Bird Name's racket as "perfectly off-center" and really I think that's about as close [...]

Get to know Bird Names

Jul 21, 2009, 10:58am Static TV Blog
Get to know Bird Names I finally got a minute to go through some demo CDs yesterday with my room mate while he painted and I worked on some other projects around the house. The first CD we chose to listen to was Bird Names out of Chicago. When I think of Chicago I think of Wilco and Kanye West and Common and amazing House Music like Derrick Carter. My room mate was affraid it would be an electronic jam band. We were both pleasently surprised. Right off the bat, my room mate, Jack, yells out, "they sound like Ween." [...]

MP3: Bird Names- "People Should Get More Aware"

Jul 13, 2009, 1:00pm The Needle Drop
Here's where you'll be getting your weekly "wtf moment": Bird Names. They're an extremely, extremely left-field "pop" group from Chicago, and who knew the Windy City could breed something like this?Bird Names isn't catchy, polished, or very dynamic. The band's strongest attribute is their ability to create music that sounds completely in the moment. You'd swear they were playing right now if it

Bird Names - Sings the Browns

Jun 30, 2009, 8:37am VIVA INDIE ROCK
Bird Names - Sings the Browns Sings the Browns is the latest in a long line of great releases from Chicago's Bird Names . Experimental at their core, Bird Names seems to draw their musical compositions from bits and pieces of virtually every genre creating an interesting sound that, when at its best, fits somewhere between the easy-breezy sounds of early 70s folk-pop, mid 90s Japanese noise, and children making music with their Fisher Price tool kit. Somewhere around track 5 ("Natural Weeds"), this album takes off and never looks back culminating in eight songs in a row that will dazzle you with brilliance. [...]

GARBAGE BARGE

Jun 24, 2009, 6:07am rose quartz
Bird Names - People Should Get More Aware It must be hard to throw billions of ZANY IDEAS into actual songs that are good but Bird Names have gotten pretty good at this by the sounds of their new Sings The Browns LP, it's totally frivolous with a vaguely gentrified calamity, real mad dinner party sort of stuff though there's some weird mountain/tower mystique in there too, but maybe that's because sometimes they sound like a split between Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy and Ariel Pink (particularly "Days Elevated" from the new [...]
