A seemingly mundane but powerfully poignant story, ‘Killing Birds’ explores the daily life of a caretaker for an abandoned sawmill. The flowery folk tune has a chirpy soundtrack-esque tune that feels like it would be apt for some sort of quaint sitcom about day to day life. The track draws guesses at the workers identity based on the things he leaves behind after his shifts at the mill. It takes such a seemingly rudimentary event and turns it into something not just curious and inquisitive, but mellowly melodic in the best possible way.
Accompanied by an equally entertaining and quirky video, this chirpy yet lackadaisical piece indie folk is perfect to lie back to and relax on a warm Sunday morning. An almost perfect confluence of jazz and folk, ‘Killing Birds’ is nothing like you could expect and everything you could hope for.
