Haven't seen much discussion of this around here. One of best and most unique bands I've heard in years.

Ooh! I saw them a month or so at the Ritual For Elephant And Castle and they absolutely blew me away, live. What of their recorded output should I be checking out?

Spotify/download/buy The Snake asap! There is one album before called 'Heartcore' but I haven't heard that.
Reference points: a more sophisticated 'Sung Tongs'; a wilder, improvisatory Newsom backed by Jim White from Dirty Three; Nina Simone, Bjork.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable can expand on that.

It takes balls of brass to call your band Wildbirds & Peacedrums.I would like to hear them.

I saw them on Saturday night and the performance was spectacular. I just can't see myself listening to the recorded material though. I was just streaming the new album now and the drums seem to have lost a bit of their power and her voice is just, well, too much. Maybe filling in the gaps where other instruments would be?
