Music reviews of Strange Bird
Music Review: Articulating rock's eccentricities from Australia
Rating: 4 Stars
Meaty, eclectic sophomore release by folksy alternative musicians from down under continued to deliver on the success of Augie March's noticeable debut with some commendable songwriting showcasing an impressive array of diverse instrumentation and melodic intellect all under the guise of fairly accessible and straightforward rustic rock n roll. Some songs do cave in a bit underneath their advanced pop ambitions and do not leave much of a memory when compared to the groups most infectious efforts, but throughout this lengthy release remains a compositional integrity that will do nothing to deter fans from praising the gospel of this uniquely strong voice in rock music.
Description of Strange Bird
Augie March is a band whose very name was poached from perhaps THE great American novel, to give the people of America an inkling of the underside of Australia. In 2002, the band had set up camp in a disused telephone company building in outer Melbourne to write the album that would become Strange Bird. It covers a lot of sonic terrain, veering 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 twenty minutes. It was released in Australia in October 2002 and did great things. A few insightful American music journalists from Rolling Stone to The Big Takeover to the All Music Guide have caught wind of the release and have already signed on as their champions.The rest of the world is about to catch up. The US release of Strange Bird contains the award winning videos for "The Vineyard" and "Little Wonder."General CDs
