I recently came across this band on Pandora, and I immediately fell in love with them. The station was set to Ramalama by Roisin Murphy, a song I had heard on So You Think You Can Dance two years ago, and when I finally heard The Bird and the Bee's Love Letter to Japan, I had to listen to the song over and over again.
The band has a light, ethereal sound to it and the beats are infectious and carefree. The songs, performed by Inara George (the "bird") and Greg Kurstin (the "bee"), are great for chilling out, hanging out, and anything in between. Hailing from L.A., they bring with to their music their love for jazz and experimentation, and so far, their product has been nothing less than amazing.
For those of you who like Chairlift, Feist, and Ingrid Michaelson, The Bird and the Bee is worth checking out. Aside from "Love Letter to Japan," "My Fair Lady" and "I Hate Camera" are must-hears. Most of the band's music from their self-titled debut album and sophomore effort, Ray Guns are Not Just the Future, is available on imeem.
