Description
FUTUREBIRDS"This [Athens] band walks a very particular line. On one hand, its authentic twang stems from a legitimately traditional country sensibility where pedal steel and banjo are key elements and not just seasoning. However, Futurebirds' scope is distinctly forward-thinking, one that bathes heart-warming, rural melodies in psych-rock’s dreamy womb of echo, feedback and reverb. Like a statelier, more indie Crazy Horse, Futurebirds pairs tradition and modernity in a way that celebrates both with verve. ... Futurebirds is one of the most complete alt-country bands to emerge in a long while, and Hampton’s Lullaby is a rare exemplar of sustained quality. Equally suited for a honky-tonk or a hipster dive, they uncover a remarkably even-footed bridge between old and new that’s seldom traveled with such ease. It’s a sound that’s big, seasoned and tuneful enough to position them beautifully in the new Southern revolution." --Flagpole.com
