Folk musician Drew Danburry's Bird Songs EP came together over a 20 years period. The result: a children's book set to music that can be enjoyed by all ages. Colourful finery, the ability to fly - all by yourself or hanging on for dear life on a dragon's neck - princes and paupers, in this world the normal rules about what is feasible don't apply. It is perfectly alright to daydream and get lost in thought of what could be possible instead.
Danburry keeps it basic and catchy, without the dumbing down that is the bane of so many songs for kids. It looks like They Might Be Giants finally have some competition in a field they thought they had to themselves.
Bird Songs is a self-released EP (cassette + illustrated book with the lyrics and narration, digital). Buy it from his website.
