kind words on the blackbirds

Lovely review today of The Bye Bye Blackbirds' magisterial Houses & Homes album on the Smiths-citing A Jumped Up Pantry Boy blog. Check their assessment here.

And here's your random sampling:

"euphoric harmonsing"

"hums with life"

"I'm left wanting more"

So are we, friend, so are we.

UPDATE: Another fine review just came down the pipeline - CD of the day on the Absolute Power Pop blog! Check it here.

Houses & Homes is available now.
