The duo's languid, shuffling pop is both shy and effervescent -- a neat trick which they pull off handily. And while Birdie's sound distinctly nods to Carnaby Street and swinging London, the pair stop short of go-go kitsch. Many of their songs sound like they would easily fit in the 1967 movie <I>To Sir, With Love</I> or the lighthearted American effort <I>Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows</I> (1968). Which is to say, their sound is a complete summation of their pop culture roots. - Linda RyanIndie/Alternativeen720Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:33:48 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37200&rws=%2Fbirdie%2Ftop-tracks.rss Deborah Wykes and Paul Kelly met while members of Saint Etienne's band, so naturally, the retro influences that brought the pair together are similarly reflected in Birdie.
