Listen: Bowerbirds - "May"

Memorial Day has come and gone, signalling not only the official end of the month of May but the unofficial start of Summer which is really just my roundabout way of saying there's a brand new track from Bowerbirds out now.

The 4th installment of their song-a-month short-form composition experiment "May" shakes off the last vestiges of spring, bright, breezy, and hopeful; not quite giving in to sun-soaked reveries just yet. Instead offering up a sparse piano-centric piece that pumps the breaks a little on the rather poppy direction Phil Moore's been going with these compositions.
