Our Take

MIMICKING BIRDS' latest offering is a delightful blend of indie folk whimsy and experimental rock bravado that will have you tapping your feet while scratching your head in confusion. The album kicks off with the dreamy and introspective "Another Time", which sets the tone for the rest of the record. vocalist Nate Lacy's haunting falsetto drifts effortlessly over intricate guitar melodies, creating a sense of otherworldly beauty that is equal parts soothing and disorientating.

Tracks like "Sundial" and "New Doomsdays" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend intricate instrumentation with emotionally raw lyrics, resulting in a sound that is both introspective and anthemic. Throughout the album, Mimicking Birds demonstrate their knack for crafting intricate sonic landscapes that draw the listener in and refuse to let go.

However, the album does falter at times, with some tracks feeling a bit too meandering and self-indulgent. While the band's experimental tendencies are commendable, they occasionally veer into self-parody, leaving the listener feeling more bemused than moved.

Overall, Mimicking Birds have crafted a fascinating and beguiling album that is sure to captivate fans of artful, genre-defying music. While not without its flaws, Mimicking Birds is a worthy addition to the band's discography and a testament to their boundless creativity. A quirky and unpredictable journey that is well worth taking.
