Artist: The Bird And The Bee
Album: Rayguns are not just the Future
Worth Buying? You betcha!
You might be interested in this album if you are a fan of: The Carpenters, Alt Pop, Jazz, Electronica, & Fun music.
Tell me more: When I first heard the Bird and the Bee’s last album I said: Imagine a more electronic and edgier version of Carpenters. With their latest release "Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future" I find that this still holds true but now the elements of Jazz are more predominant than in the last album. Also gone is the humorous use of the “F” word. But what also remains is more of the same sweet, lush, catchy pop that dominated the last album. Within the 3 listens I was already hooked. For too long the word "Pop" has been maligned by pre manufactured "fake" artists who are just figureheads for a record label production team. Albums like this one remind us that Pop music is sweet delicious music from talented individuals who want to make the music smile at you.
What about the packaging? Unfortunately I only got to experience this album as digital download. If you want to describe the CD the packaging for the rest of us, Drop me a line and I will update this entry.
