The Lesser Birds of Paradise


I've just found a gem! The Lesser Birds of Paradise hail from Chicago, and make some intricate and hushed music. When I first heard "Come to the City" I thought Radar Bros. and it was nice enough, but on "A Magnet in You" the infulences give way to their own sound, and it's beautiful.

From String of Bees:

The Lesser Birds of Paradise - Come to the City

The Lesser Birds of Paradise - A Magnet in You

From the A/V Club:

The Lesser Birds of Paradise - Take However Long You Want (Will Oldham cover)

The Lesser Birds of Paradise - Lullaby for Yo La Tengo No. 2

Enjoy!
