BLUEBIRD

[Download "Future Burn" from Dark Presence]

I don't know much about Bluebird. I know that they are from California, and I know they've released a handful of albums over the past 5 or 6 years. My knowledge of Bluebird is limited for a few reasons. One, they are completely unknown where I live in Michigan. Two, I have heard albums released after Dark Presensce ( ie. Hot Blood, The Two), and I don't care for them. Thats okay though, I do however love this particular release. Dark Presence is an exceptional album that blends very ambient guitars with dark instrumentals, all while having a very psychedelic feel. The group's obvious influences include The Rolling Stones, Mogwai, Fugazi, and The Velvet Underground. Dark Presence was released in '02 on Dopamine Records.
