Birds, by Bic Runga.
Dec. 3rd, 2005 11:07 pmBic Runga: Birds
This is just a preliminary reviewish thinky thing, so don’t take it too seriously, okey dokey? And a quick recommendation: like so much of Bic’s opus, this albums is best listened to in silence and turned up quite loud, so you can hear everything, at least for the first hearing or so. Um, this will contain spoilers for Birds, if you, you know, believe in spoilers for music. I know I prefer to listen to an album firsthand before reading reviews and things so… Anyway, first I’ll blether for a bit about the album as a whole, and then I’ll go through it track by track and say something about each of them. Okay? Okay.
