Birdcloud - Singles Only

I can hardly believe it but the fortieth release from yk records is on the horizon. I'm happy to announce that release be from Birdcloud, entitled Singles Only. The double vinyl is a compilation of their four previous releases - Self-Titled, One More Again, Effortless and TETNIS. It's a Best Of that includes every previous release. Only they could make such a thing happen. You can preorder the record over here.

If you aren't familiar with the work of Birdcloud, I suggest diving into "Indianer" - the first song I ever heard from them. As with all their work, it's funny but it's not comedy. It's tongue-in-cheek but it's also serious. It's a wink and a nod but it's not making fun. Birdcloud is far more complex and nuanced than what you may assume on first listen. I think it may require being from The South to truly get it but I will leave that open for others to decide.

The cover photo is by Rachel Briggs and I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. It's the perfect representation of the duality the band embodies.
