Though this may not be quite the "talk" your father had with you as you were wrapping up those memorable puberty years, The Bird and the Bee surely bring with them the power of such a talk, the music's ability to hook you in in nearly immeasurable. The closest artist comparison I could make would be if one were to take the soothing side of the background music from Lily Allen and cross it with the beautiful voice of the Norwegian pop star Annie, and spiked this mix once in a while with a dash of Belle and Sebastian. The songs are simply relaxing, and have the jingle feel that gives them a major replay value in my books to say the least. Among my favorite songs would be "Come As You Were" with it's staccato rhythm that begs to be sung along to on the latter half of the song, and "The Polite Dance Song", with it's reminiscent sounds from the pop your parents would listen to from decades previous. All in all, the blend in simply spectacular, and mark my words, this band as one that will surely grow with in the next year.
