Last year, Them Bird Things stormed onto an unsuspecting Helsinki scene, releasing the most critically acclaimed album of the year, "Fly, Them Bird Things, Fly!" The band's roots, however, go back to 1962 Plattsburgh... formed by singer Salla Day and Mike Brassard and Steve Blodgett of Mike & The Ravens, Day drafted Finnish players into the band to perform songs written by Brassard and Blodgett... to boot, Blodgett and Brassard also make appearances on Them Bird Things recordings... now, the band's second album (produced by yours truly) hits stores... it's on CD and will be on vinyl in two weeks... it can be ordered (and you can stream the album beforehand for a listen) here: http://www.recordshopx.com/artist/them_bird_things/wildlike_wonder/ 

It's a Finnish store, but they deliver worldwide and the page is in English... besides 11 songs written by Brassard and Blodgett, this new album also contains an unreleased song by Jake Holmes, the man who wrote "Dazed & Confused" (he's suing Jimmy Page over it right now)... his song, "Marionette," has a similar spooky wyrd-folk vibe as evidenced in the more notorious "Dazed & Confused"... visit Them Bird Things site as well to read reviews etc. - www.myspace.com/thembirdthings
