About this item:

Following a well received two tracker a few months back, local four piece I Am Blackbird release their debut EP. They kick off proceedings with the fiery “This Town”, despite its nice lilting intro it soon twists into an uncompromising ode to the darker side of small town life. Track two, “Setting Sun” keeps up the firey delivery and adds some great Morricone-esque guitar twangs. Third track “One Good Reason” is a gorgeous slowey with bluesy vocals over strummed guitars and percussive drumming, and finally they up the tempo with “They Don’t Speak For Me”, which switches tempo between a galloping drum / vocal rhythm and a choppy chorus with subtle Mariachi-trumpets.
