STRANGE BIRD VINYL

Description

‘Strange Bird’ is the second studio album by the Australian indie rock band Augie March. It was first released on 14 October 2002.

Strange Bird followed from the success of the band’s moderately successful first album, Sunset Studies, which was voted as one of the best albums of 2000 by Triple J listeners. Strange Bird was quite a departure for the band, replacing the often mellow melodies of the first album with a more expansive, direct sound.
A more concise record than the epic Sunset Studies, Strange Bird’ still manages to cover more sonic terrain. It veers from the sweet, building harmony of ‘The Vineyard’, through the Wild West gallop of ‘This Train’, the heavy ‘Song in the Key of Chance’ and muted melancholy of ‘O Mi Sol Li Lon’ to the plaintive balladry of ‘The Night is A Blackbird’, and that’s all in the first half hour!
