the wooden birds - magnolia

The Wooden Birds borrow much of their foundation from the American Analog Set, whose textured arrangements and heavy-lidded ambience are channeled throughout this debut effort. But while the American Analog Set often masked Andrew Kenny's melodies with trace-like washes of guitar and synthesizer, the Wooden Birds push his vocals to the front, highlighting the resulting melodies with a soft, gauzy glow reminiscent of early mornings and rainy Sunday afternoons.
