Description
Strange Bird is the wonderful new album from Augie March! Recorded at Sing Sing in Melbourne with Chris Thompson and in Sydney at Megaphon with Paul McKercher and Big Jesusburger with Chris Townend respectively.
Strange Bird is more concise than the epic "Sunset Studies", yet covers more
sonic terrain. It veers from the sweet, building harmony of "The Vineyard", through the Wild West gallop of "This Train", the heavy "Song in the Key of Chance" and muted melancholy of "O Mi Sol Mi Lon" to the plaintive balladry of "The Night is A Blackbird", and that's all in the first half hour. Like its predecessor, Strange Bird includes two tracks recorded by the band themselves (O Mi Sol Li Lon and Sunstroke House), originally meant as demos but which ended up making the grade.
