| "SKY"
by BIRD BY SNOW (LP+CDR) 2nd pressing on
SALE for only $9!
To
you, children of the Zeitgeist, we give “Sky,”
offered in the same generous spirit as this bountiful world itself.
Ten songs of reggae-infused, psychedelic, folk music. Existentialism
you can dance to! Open-hearted sound-fields, vast and colored
with tiny blue-grass orchestras, authentic Dub banjo, black cloud
back-beats, and (if you can believe it) California Soukous guitar!
Open eyes wide, and take in “Sky,”
bird by snow’s outrageously lush follow-up LP.
Cloudy or clear, day or night, let us be absorbed in the one-always-giving
moment, and know the sky not as vacuous hole, but as
container (whole).
This
is the 2nd pressing, limited to 500. Black vinyl with color lithograph
covers, printed on reverse jackets (completely matte). Comes with
CD version and original lovely hand-made booklet too.
First
pressing was limited to 300, on beautiful tranparent-blue vinyl.
Hand silk-screened gold covers, with CD and the same booklet.
{recorded
at home on 8-track cassette tape, mastered by George Horn... who
mastered "Zuma" by Neil Young and Crazy Hourse}

"...more
real desolate charm than ever before, this is a record of great
intrinsic worth, and manages to do something new and consistent
within a genre largely held together by image and one-trick
skills. Incredible and very worthwhile." - Dave Mozurak,
Dusted Magazine
"...creating
an ache in the heart, proving once again the emotional quality
of this album, brimming with gently persuasive songs that will
remain with you long after the needle has lifted."
- Simon Lewis, Terrascope
"Gentle
and true pop here, not to be missed, but almost feels like an
animal in danger of extinction. Enjoy the blend of banjo, melodica,
autoharp before they pave an overpass across it all. Hell, the
two truest “songs” on here are actually open-mic
hikes. Tromping through the underbrush, the other lyrical flora
bloom fine besides them. There’s even some low-voltage
electricity accompanying the two man blended band here."
- KFJC Los Altos Public Radio
