"This four piece band have a wonderful sound, that at times harkens back to Gong, albeit the more intelligible, musical Gong tunes. They also remind me of a more recent band, Hopewell, with an at times, almost ethereal, smattering of the psychedelic".
"Montreal 4-piece whose dark music is reminiscent of English avant-garde groups like Hood. Hints of folkyness are vanquished by shoegazy verses and flyaway choruses"
"One would be tempted to liken lead singer Chris Fox’s voice to Thom Yorke’s or even David Bowie’s because of its range and overall mystique. But the difference with Fox is that there is a certain ringing of joy that is left hanging, suspended in the air long after each note is pronounced. With just the right balance of somber, wavering choral vocals, and celebratory enchantment, each song is a true mix of lightness and depth. Experimenting with new song order and formats that has bridges and crescendos in the most unexpected places, The Migrating Birds is a band of paradoxes—in a good way. To top it all off, the electro, sometimes orchestral, instrumentals put a contemporary edge on a throwback style to ’90s alt-rock."
"Haunting yet sweet, migrating birds are a delicate mixture of catchy folk and spooky psychadelica. Fox's Bowie-esque vocals, quirky lyrics and the addition of electro make Migrating Birds a relevant, much-needed addition to the world of indie rock."
So I think you all should hop over the border to Watertown, NY & play. I'm so close to the border, but I don't have a stinkin' enhanced license or passport.....
Also, on Facebook there's a different version of Atari vs. Commodore....how do I buy that one, too?
Cool tunes, sending you some digital love. Hope you checked out our new funk produce Find A Home & Looking Back At it All. Keep up the great work, drop by anytime and say hello. Thankyou for being a friend of New Translation.
hey mates, too bad i missed the show. i'm sure it was brilliant. i'm living with my parents for a bit in ottawa and i just had my appendix out. can't wait to be healthy again and play a show with you guys. we should set something up for the spring. congrats on the video! - zef
most appreciated! my harmonies mostly are nicked from brian wilson or paul simon. the rawness has a direct correlation to who i am trying to be, and the moodiness, for me, is inescapable.
i hope to share more music with you soon asriel...
Yeah I'm totally attempting your show! I can also look around for the singers I know, one of them might be interested in your band. looking for a female or male singer?
Well I mainly play bass. I can manage the keyboards well with a little bit of practice, hmmmm I've even played trombone for a year or two (I still own one, I also own a bandoleon - a small acordeon). The singing is a tricky one. I almost sing like Sonic Youth's singer
