Bill Callahan - Too Many Birds

Bill Callahan’s music is so durn pretty that it’s easy to forget where the man came from. Once revered by Sonic Youth and covered by Flaming Lips, Callahan’s alias Smog was a leading name in lo-fi experimentalism. But Callahan has a knack for reinventing the past one great album at a time, and the future he’s been crafting is increasingly melodic. With 2007’s Woke On A Whaleheart, Callahan left behind the Smog moniker for his birth name and an oddly upbeat album—a surprise coming from someone known for his black humor and deadpan baritone. His new album, the string-laden Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle, finds him on familiar ground again, but still doing what he does best: tweaking the format as he continues down an amorphous musical path that dodges genre classification. Sure, it’s little bit country and a little bit rock ’n’ roll, but there’s always an X factor with Bill.
