KR artist of the week! - The Bird & The Bee

This week, our artist of the week is The Bird & The Bee. We have definitely caught on to everything they have out. Their music is... well I'd call it addicting. Every time I listen to their album I end up listening to it a second time. Inara George, the lead singer, has such a distinctive voice which at times seems monotone, but it goes perfect with their sound. I also seen she is the daughter of Lowell George, who is the founder of a rock band my dad used listen to back in his hey-day called Little Feat... which is a good little tidbit. The song/video I chose to throw up for them is "Love Letter to Japan" off their Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future LP. The album is a definite must hear!


I decided to put up a second video by them, "Polite Dance Song", which is the first song I ever heard by them. I heard it on their Please Clap Your Hands EP awhile ago and it still remains a favorite of mine. Plus, to connect with my last post... the video was directed by Eric Wareheim who is 1/2 of Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! If familiar with the show, look for Palmer Scott aka Mr. This Is What I Do I Sit On You.
