***The debut album from Birmingham's SHADY BARD, a mini indie-orchestra of pianos, guitars, Casiotones, violin, cello, French horn and samples. Their music is at once passionate, eloquent, tender, bombastic and fragile, evocative of Coldplay, Mercury Rev, Sigur Ros and Sparklehorse. Singer LAWRENCE BECKO, whose cracked tones contribute to the album's bruised tone, writes using a special gift known as synaesthesia, which is the pairing of two or more senses. When Lawrence sees words, they appear as colors. The album joins a loose group of ecologically themed albums that includes Grandaddy's The Sophtware Slump, Pulp's We Love Life and British Sea Power's Open Season.
