Do you like melodies and intelligent lyrics? Do you appreciate well crafted songs played amazingly well? Then check out this gem. You can't go wrong with a Bye Bye Blackbirds album. They could make bigger t-shirts though. ;-) John Ashfield
Having a predisposition to power pop, plenty of these songs clicked on first listen for me - relating hard to karaoke first dates (“In Love with Everyone”), ethernet-based romances in Oceania (“Jas from Australia” - Nick from NZ here!) and annoyance with Portland’s sterile, monolithic hipster-activist culture: “so many different kinds of white people” nails it, really (“Lucky Devils”). Mo’s tunes are real earworms, but you’ll welcome their tunnels - also, he has great hair. erinmack
