Lush in sound, intimate in feel, knowing in sentiment, Bound is the first in a four-part series that BIRDSONG AT MORNING plans to release over the next year and a half. Evoking the sudden leap and fated destination of restless journeys as well as the deeply rooted bond between friends and lovers, Bound offers five compositions by Birdsong leader, Alan Williams. The last song on the recording is an intriguing, acoustic take on Blondie's "Dreaming."

Each song on Heavens contains some variation on a celestial theme. The lead-off track "Astronomy," explores the idea of peering into the universe as a day job. In "Light In The Window" the narrator sees himself in a vanishing star. "Clean" describes the sky-is-falling trauma of a man in crisis. The gorgeous "Adrift," evokes the beauty and calm terror of losing oneself 'out beyond the stars.' "Mystery," celebrates the elusive, from space to God. Heavens concludes with a delicate casting of the Rolling Stones' "Moonlight Mile."

Vigil offers six meditations on the passing of time and the nature of solitude. Though the themes are somber, the music is far from morose, spanning from the occasional catchy chorus to achingly beautiful sounds hinting of the light of day just over the horizon. Another chapter in the saga and a welcome addition to the band's catalog, Vigil deepens with time.
