IN THE LOVER'S CORNER

San Francisco's The Love-Birds have been tearing up their local
scene, breaking hearts and making fans across the city's
disappearing DIY spaces and proper venues alike since 2016. After
releasing a 7-inch EP in early 2017 via local label Empty Cellar
Records, they 're ready to unveil In The Lover 's Corner, their debut
album & first release on their new home, Trouble In Mind.
The album eases into view with the first track, "Again"; it's
gentle acoustic strum augmented by guitarist Eli Wald's chiming
electric twelve-string. From there the listener is treated to dynamic,
life-affirming power-pop; bell-ringing, fuzz stompers ("River Jordan"),
warm, carefully crafted fragile pop ("Clear The Air", "Failure and
Disgrace"), and urgent, crystalline rockers ("Hit My Head", "Weak
Riff"). The Love-Birds approach their craft with a classicist's ear;
with nods to their Seventies originators as well as Nineties torchbearers,
composing near-perfect future classics that ooze with
subtle, interesting melodic twists and hummable, finger-pricking hooks
that are instantly memorable.
