The Wooden Birds

Having placed American Analog Set at number two in the list of songs in my previous post, I decided to see what the band was up to.....turns out, not very much.

While it's a shame that a great band doesn't appear to want to make music together right now, de facto band leader Andrew Kenny does have another project on the go - The Wooden Birds.

Kenny's touch is instantly recognisable with The Wooden Birds; the gently - sometimes driving - metronomic rhythms of AmAnSet are present, but there's a more folky feel replacing the comforting synth hum of that band's work.

I'm not sure if they'll have a place in my heart alongside AmAnSet, but if anyone is missing the engaging songwriting of Andrew Kenny then they can find some solace in this:
