Brown Bird Stream “Nine Eyes” Via Alarm
Mar. 26, 2013, Providence, R.I. – Brown Bird, the Rhode Island indie-folk duo who release their new album
Fits of Reason on Apr. 2 (Supply & Demand Music), are currently streaming “Nine Eyes” via Alarm (

The new dates kick off May 3 in Chapel Hill and primarily cover the Southeastern and Western United States with a May 16 taping for eTown in Boulder. Brown Bird previously announced dates throughout the rest of the country, which are listed below.
The Boston Phoenix, in their final issue, said of the band and new album: “Brown Bird, a boundary-pushing Americana duo from Rhode Island, make music that touches upon that can’t-put-my-finger-on-it amalgamation of past and future sounds. Their reductive semi-electric folk – slightly overdriven guitar, violin, upright bass, foot percussion, wicket tight harmonies – is deceptively simple in its toe-tapping-ness, though in fact it is frequently reminiscent of ‘30s-era Ellington flirting with Cuban and Middle Eastern tropes in a proverbially dusty middle-America barn.”
