So, back to Virgin of the Birds, who I discovered earlier this week and fell for in a big way. They're a Seattle based rotating collective of musicians, orbiting around main man Jon Rooney. Named after a poor translation of a Salvador Dali painting and active for over a decade, here are three songs from their latest EP Numberless Needs.
It's found, thrift store wisdom in the best tradition of American Indie eccentrics. The latest in a long and noble line going back fifty years and more; Jonathan Richman, Lester Bangs, Jad Fair, Jeffrey Lewis, Adam Greene, Sufjan Stevens. Rooney slots in just fine and Numberless Needs is his latest pearl.
