Everything's all daffodils in Georgia these days. Ego death, spectres from the other sphere.

That one-of-a-kind razzamatazz fringe pop sound of Bird Names.Touring + recording since 2004. Chicago. Athens. NOW touring with a new xtra heavy 6-piece line-up.

"Brilliant experimental songs ... I remember the anticipation to the Brian Wilson
finalized Beach Boys album Smile. This Bird Names album is what I really wished it was." -- brokenheartboy

"A "pop" band, or so they claim (I think 'highly adept bubblegum decontructionism' is a much more apt description), the 'Names specialize in idiosyncratic musical transmissions which both embrace and explode traditional notions of playfulness and pop-structure.. One thing you will never get on a Bird Names record is filler. All of their records are jam packed with tightly composed and executed songs which usually flow together seamlessly to create a larger work. Imagine white jazz, twee pop, sea shantys, surf rock, western swing, afrobeat, psych, childrens music, prog rock, and vaudeville. A mind blowing record for sure. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to hear extremely weird music without a bunch of yelling and screechy feedback!" -- Private Leisure

"Whatever it is we need to fill our post-Beefheart aortic vacancy, Bird Names shall deliver." -- Impose Magazine

"Bird Names write great songs ... they are a delight on record and live,
and they will just make you feel great if you take a ride on their songcraft." -- Bodies of Water
