Augie March Strange Bird CD

Strange Bird is the wonderful album from Augie March! Recorded at Sing Sing in Melbourne with Chris Thompson & in Sydney at Megaphone with Paul McKercher & Big Jesusburger with Chris Townend respectively. Strange Bird is more concise than the epic 'Sunset Studies', yet covers more sonic terrain. It veers from the sweet, building harmony of 'The Vineyard', through the Wild West gallop of 'This Train', the heavy 'Song in the Key of Chance' & muted melancholy of 'O Mi Sol Mi Lon' to the plaintive balladry of 'The Night is a Blackbird', & that's all in the first half hour. Like it's predecessor, Strange Bird includes two tracks recorded by the band themselves (O Mi Sol LI Lon & Sunstroke House), originally meant as demos but which ended up making the grade. BMG. 2004.
