While it might not quite be the wood chopping, deer hunting log cabin life of Wisconsin, Bowerbirds’ Phil Moore and Beth Tacular’s residence of an off the beaten track Airstream trailer proved secluded recording to be the new blowing the big studio budget. The pair individually hand-knitted and hand-printed the packaging of their debut EP 2006's Danger At Sea before releasing their full debut Hymns For A Dark Horse on the Burly Time imprint a year later. Having garnered the requisite praise (8.4 Pitchfork rating, Take Away Session, Daytrotter recordings – check, check, check), the band signed to Dead Oceans who re-released the record a year later. Upper Air followed in July, 2009.
