Our old friend Andrew Kenny, best known as the singer/songwriter behind American Analog Set (one of our favorite bands of the last decade or so, and a guy we've been wanting to work with since Barsuk started releasing music), has a new project called The Wooden Birds. We're gleeful to announce that The Wooden Birds' first album, magnolia, will be out this spring on Barsuk in the US & Canada (and on Morr Music in Europe). Fans of AmAnSet will recognize Kenny's voice and songwriting immediately, but the arrangements on magnolia are more vocal- and percussion-heavy than anything he's done before — still really gorgeous, though, of course! The Wooden Birds also includes Ola Podrida songwriter and David Gordon Green film score composer David Wingo, co-producer Chris Michaels, vocalist, guitarist, and AmAnSet guest artist Leslie Sisson, and Lymbic System drummer Michael Bell.
