"Modern recording techniques these days allow even the most mediocre of voices to sound impeccably perfect. There’s always pitch correction (ridiculously over-used); and extensive use of reverb can always lend a hand. Rarely anymore do we hear a good raw voice; no strings attached. Then there’s Birdie Busch. Her vocals come raw and beautiful, I wouldn’t want it any other way"-Deli Blog

PhotobucketPenny Arcade 2007 Bar None Release

On Penny Arcade:

iTUNES 20 BEST INDIES OF 2007-The second album from Busch is an utterly entrancing collection of songs.

AMERICAN SONGWRITER- According to the geriatric tastemakers over at Travel & Leisure magazine, Philadelphia has the largest number of ugly people per capita of any city in the U.S. Apparently, no one told local girl Birdie Busch, who manages to chirp her way through the entirety of her very compelling Penny Arcade (Bar None) as if she were singer/songwriter in residence at Xanadu University. This brand of optimism might become annoying if not couched in the wry insinuations of Busch’s strikingly evolved lyrics, which share far more in common with Eudora Welty than Richard Simmons. A bewitching combination, to be sure.

NO DEPRESSION-Thirteen songs that display Busch's ear for the gnomic. And just to proves she's a rocker, she covers Steve Miller, and it works.

ALL MUSIC GUIDE-Its earnest delivery makes it one of the most affecting altos around. "My heart, well, it's worn on the outside," Busch sings during the upbeat "Hold Ya." "And if I see something good, I'm gonna show ya; and if I hear something sweet, I'm gonna tell ya." That's a raison d'être shared by the world's best singer/songwriters, and Penny Arcade sets Busch down the right path to join their ranks.

Photobucket The Ways We Try 2006 Bar None Records

On The Ways We Try:

VILLAGE VOICE - The Ways We Try is one of the slyest neo-folky records in recent memory, its blues loopy and eccentric, and its simple melodies often as inspired as say, SydBarrett's.

NASHVILLE SCENE- On her debut, The Ways We Try, Emily “Birdie” Busch marries the folkie aesthetic with something altogether more rhythmic, felt and astringent. The record stands as one of the year’s strongest. She displays the born songwriter’s structural knack and flair for the unobtrusive hook. It’s an endlessly charming and magical record.

ALL MUSIC GUIDE -From the gentle swing of "Cup" to the bluesy Randy Newman-esque closer "Room Above the City," The Ways We Try is so subtle in its execution that it may get lost among the bevy of louder, lamer, and more opulent acts of 2006, but if the business were fair, and the cream really did rise to the top, there would be one less employee doing the serving. 4 STARS/5

HARP - Combining Gillian Welch's congregational hush and folk reverence with Sara Hickman's sly sidelong observational humor and pop ebullience, Philadelphia singer-songwriter Emily "Birdie" Busch distinguishes herself with a quietly expansive sound and a quirky, intimate songwriting style on her debut.

   About Birdie Busch

The music of Birdie Busch is the concise sound of a well defined personality unfiltered by the social trends or factors that often define what people are or aren’t listening to. Writing in deceptively simple terms, she reveals very complex and nuanced emotions and complicated narratives with stark phrases and novel turns of speech, creating a musical balance that is comfortable, understandable, and yet unique. Comparing it seems like an odd thing to do, and many often find themselves searching for a reference point, but critics from the Village Voice to American Songwriter have admiringly found her of kindred spirit to everyone from Syd Barrett to Eudora Welty. All Music Guide exclaimed after her 2007 Penny Arcade release that she was one of the “most affecting altos around”.

“Pattern of Saturn”, Birdie’s newest release, was recorded over the span of the past year. Recorded in various Philly friends’ converted spaces from basements to bedrooms and even hijacking the local high school’s choir room for some piano additions, the result is both rootsy and inventive, bold yet intimate. Percussion goes from light-hearted carriage clip-clops to the chains of the ghost of Christmas past and guitars, both electric and acoustic, cover ground between country, classical, psychedelic, and blues without falling into the position of bland redux.

When asked about Pattern of Saturn Birdie said, “In a way, I wanted it to be a mix of blues and classical by way of melodic repetitions. One of the things I love so much about blues patterns and finger-picking is that you can kind of go in all different directions. Meanderings from these simple pathways can be so interesting and prancing but also trancey. The idea was in bringing melodic themes in and out from one song to another where it was so subtle you might not notice but you’ll feel it, that continuity and flow.”

But, like always, the stories and lyrics in the songs are just as much a focus. Subject matter ranges from Birdie taking on the voice of a Mexican dishwasher named Gabino to dealing with the modern problems of Internet password pile-up. The album title is taken from an instrumental piece that rests in the center of the recording and she included other instrumental pieces as well. It’s a broad spectrum but Birdie has always believed in our multitudes and found inspiration in gray areas and mulit-faceted emotions. The trick is how she seems to encapsulate it, as we find in writers like Neil Young and Paul Simon, in what feels like very buoyant and effortless attempts.

Put out on her own imprint Monotask Music, its her continuing effort to make music that always wanders in wonder but never wanders from her hopes to keep creating music that is of her voice. It’s music that grows with repeated listens and shows you different things in different moments, with words that can strike too close to home and melodies that never wear out.
