Customer Reviews of For the Birds
Ireland has never sounded so good. This Cd is simply amazing. I started on the frames listening to "Set List" (live album). There studio work is simply jaw-dropping. Songs like "What happens when the heart stops", "giving me wings" and "friends and foe" are all wonderfull sad pieces. the lyrics on all these songs are also brilliant--its not soppy country style drivel and its not cryptic suicide either. It has a nice poetic sting much like something from a robert frost poem.
All in all this is one of the greatest albums ever. dont miss out.
Melancholic classic
You know the drill, struggling band, popular in their local market with some quality music that just never seems to get the right sort of exposure to get out amongst the world........well this is the story of The Frames, another one of those Irish bands that never seems to be able to get past the World sized wall that is U2.
For the Birds is not their first album but their fourth (or even fifth if you can figure out how their discography works) and probably the first that has created a buzz in any other market but Ireland. In 2003 it is hardly a recent release but since most of you won't even have heard of these guys before then don't let that stop you.
This album is a slow burn of melancholic soundscapes that are driven by piano, drums, guitar and feedback. Insistent lyrics with a driven delivery and a urgency to communicate. A mad mix of Neil Young, Tortoise and a whiff of trad Irish folk. If you seem them live then get ready to get caught up in the forcefulness of their music.
And if you want a note of familiarity then grab a copy of Alan Parker's film 'The Commitments' about a Belfast band that's into Soul music - Glen Hansard, the driving force behind The Frames, played the red curly mop headed guitarist of the band.
