Bowerbirds - Upper Air

This is a really lovely record. Where to begin? Great production with a really big room sound; broad, fully realized melodies; great male/female vocal chemistry; philosophically melancholic lyrics. Upper Air is also a marvelous example of how spare instrumentation can be made to sound opulently large and compelling through clear and immaculate sound engineering. One of 2009's best. 4.5/5
