Its been almost a month since I lost Bird People’s email in my inbox. Things are happening at a fast and furious pace here but I’m just glad this music didn’t get lost forever. Prior to forming Bird People, the band (duo) was known as Beauty Point (I remember being taken by their music back in the summer of 2010 here).
Not much has changed with the band’s sound since then. Perhaps their electronic rock has gotten a bit of a harder edge and a little darker. The band describes their music like this:
Bird People is the result of a musical meeting of two individuals, with very different musical backgrounds. On one side, synth and psychedelic trance. On the other side, indie-pop and progressive 70′s rock.
I think it’s these two disparate elements that creates the tension in Bird People’s music. Here’s the song “Smiling” and a teaser video.
