The Wooden Birds tour with Great Lake Swimmers
Release "Hometown Fantasy" video + MP3
The Wooden Birds' first album, 'Magnolia', is out now on Barsuk Records.
Fans of the AmAnSet will recognize Andrew Kenny's voice and song writing immediately, but the arrangements on 'Magnolia' are more vocal and percussion heavy than anything he's done before.
Full of guitar-top drumming and beautiful harmonies, and anchored by Kenny’s percolating, vibey bass, 'Magnolia' rolls by like a float down an ambient indie-rock river on a lazy summer day.
The band documented their recent European tour with Grand Archives, and was able to condense the experience into a few short minutes as a video for the 'Magnolia' standout track "Hometown Fantasy".
Watch "Hometown Fantasy" video from 'Magnolia':
The video is actually done to the extended version of the song, previously unreleased until now!
