State Bird came in at 90 in the CMJ 200. We have one more week to go. Please keep contacting your local stations. They are leaving for a month long tour today. Keep up with the tour page to see if they are coming to your city. They had a great review in Popmatters last week.

Popmatters:

State Bird never seem to acknowledge the confinement of their studio surroundings. The fact that tape was rolling during each performance comes across as merely coincidental. That is not to imply that Mostly Ghostly has no semblance of control. It’s demonstrated with their most cohesive track, “The Golden Glowing Mask”. Here State Bird’s spiritual revivalism is quietly mystic, but at the song’s halfway point it stirs into forest-inspired gospel, complete with handclaps and drifting trumpet calls.
