 <\/p>\n

Brown Bird’s forthcoming EP, The Sound of Ghosts<\/em>, seems to be another step in the stripped-down band’s evolution, sounding as different from early albums “Such Unrest” and “Tautology” as the Carolina Chocolate Drops sound from Iron and Wine. While early Brown Bird songs were slow, sparse, delicate pieces, The Sound of Ghosts<\/em> is imbued, start to finish, with foot-stomping, ramshackle rhythms anchored by upright bass and layered with percussive guitar, rich harmonizing between David Lamb and his partner MorganEve Swain and a splash of fiddle and banjo. One can hear influences that span the world, but it’s all held together with a polish that never overwhelms the spirit of the songs.<\/p>\n

The EP is available via Brown Bird’s Bandcamp site<\/a> with a limited edition hand-silkscreened edition that will ship May 1st. The EP will see wide release May 10th.<\/p>\n

Brown Bird is on the road now and will be playing the Newport Folk Festival in July.<\/p>\n
