Album Notes

Because of their unique instrumentation, Sleepybird is not something you're likely to hear every day. Imagine if you were listening to half of a chamber orchestra, the folk rhythms and confident lyrics of Bob Dylan, the dizzying crescendoes of the Flaming Lips, the pacing of The Beatles' elegant "Long, Long, Long" and then you gave it all a lush, lo-fi sound like Neutral Milk Hotel. That's about as good of a description as there can be.
