CD Reviews

An indie-pop gem
Christopher Salyer | Dayton, OH | 11/26/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Biirdie's newest album, Catherine Avenue is a noted look at analog music within indie pop and Americana. The trio of Jared Flamm, Kala Savage, and Richard Gowen come together solidly on this album. The double threat of Kala Savage's angelic vocals and Jared Flamm's world-worn pipes really put Biirdie in a class of their own. With Kala's vocals, it is easy to hear a strong resemblance to Rilo Kiley or Grandaddy. Haramonies are quite abundant on this richly melodic indie-pop gem.



The innocence of the album is balanced wonderfully with a subtle

complex sound. Birdie pulls out a load of different instruments,

which add a grand experimental quality to the album. But this never

overpowers the simple singer/song writer quality. It's quite a blend

of experiences.



These two different ideas about music, complexity and simplicity, come

together to create a unique offering in "Catherine Avenue". It's

clean and crisp, but at the same time it reaches out and grasps at

ideas on the precipice of accepted instrumentation. This jovial

experimentation turns the album into something quite worthwhile. It's

an adventure, and a good one at that.





Recommended tracks: "L.A. Is Mars" and "Who Were You Thinking Of"

Different But Still Amazing!

"I popped this cd into my computer and expected the now conforming same sounding music many bands these days have ,but to my surprise this group managed to make a great cd composed of slower more relaxing different sounding music. A great cd for anybody who wants a change of pace in their music collection but still wants good music."
