Birds and Batteries - Panorama

Panorama - The new release from Birds and Batteries (SF), is now available on limited edition vinyl at The Old Well. I was honored to play records opening for Birds and Batteries for their San Diego date of their nation wide tour at the Soda Bar last week... Listening to the record for the past week, I have decided that Birds and Batteries is writing prudent music with a distinct quality that intertwines experimentation with dedicated song craft. Pick up Panorama on your next visit, the record is streaming from their website in full, be sure to give them a listen.
