The Bird and the Bee - Again and Again and Again and Again
Reviewed by david
Again and Again and Again and Again is a minor EP whose purpose is to stir up some interest for the upcoming full-length from Los Angeles duo The Bird and the Bee. The four tracks meet the unstated goal--this is pop music falling somewhere between Lily Allen and The Concretes. Multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin lays down nearly everything you hear on the record, save for Inara George's sweet, glassy vocals. "Again and Again" and "I'm a Broken Heart" are more along the lines of orchestral indie pop, while "Fucking Boyfriend" (and the ensuing Peaches remix of the track) whir and bounce with electronics. If The Bird and the Bee's record can match the standard set forth by this EP, they'll be a buzz band and blogger favorite for 2007. We'll see what happens. [www.myspace.com]
