Drift Rec.
Birdengine : I Fed Thee Rabbit Water -mini-cd- (UK,2007)****
Birdengine is Lawry Joseph Tilbury’s musical project, and this is a mini-CD release after a previous EP.
I really had to listen a lot of times to this dreamy Birdengine album, suitable to fly away into thoughts and for daydreaming, before being able to take a writer’s distance...
Lawry did a remarkable job with his 4-track recordings. He sings most often with himself in close harmonies or with different voices, from melancholic to wordless musings intertwined with the lyric parts, to musical theatre, with velvet curtain, once or twice with a telephone like voice, and with birds whistling in the background. Also two guitars (banjo somewhere as well ?) drift well with open tunings and with some changing directions as if walking through a labyrinth garden, noticing local life, but singing about the whole range of surrounding space.
