Okay so Upper Air is the second album by the Bowerybirds. They're from North Carolina or some other bullshit Carolina I think. Who cares.
First of all, the coolest thing about this album is the cover art. And even that is a generic ass picture taken from the window of a plane flying over some fucking clouds. I bet the Bowerybirds (who are hipster as fuck) thought "WHOA LOOK AT THIS NATURE PICTURE IT WOULD BE A GREAT ALBUMS COVER WE'LL BE SO HIP" well guess what, motherfuckers? It's not hip. It's gay, and you're a queer for thinking it's cool.
The music itself is your usual hipster garbage. Terrible recording quality, OMgEXoTic instruments like accordions and some guy mumbling and yelling while banging on his acoustic guitar. I get it dude, you're indie. Happy now, indie man? I bet you fucking are you asshole.
Oh yeah, there's a chick singer too. Her name is "Beth Tacular" (fake hipster name), and she is the worst female vocalist I have heard since that bitch from the Sonic Youths or whatever. Tone-deaf and squeaky. Gross.
Also, their lyrics are dumb hippie shit. "DON'T HURT NATURE AND EAT ANIMALS"- direct quote from one of the songs. I don't know which one, but believe me, I'm telling the truth. Their lyrics are really that goddamn dumb and preachy. I bet they don't really even care about nature. They're just pretending to for indie cred. Despicable.
Overall, this album is really bad, but you'll probably like it if you blindly enjoy everything certain hipster indie guy blogs that rhyme with bitchcork tell you to.
Final score:
2.5/10
