Strangebyrds
The Boulder Weekly March 31st Review of; STRANGEBYRDS-
Local duo Cari Minor and Ray Smith have played around Boulder for nearly a
decade. They call themselves Strangebyrds, and their new, eponymous album
showcases the duo's knack for tight arrangements and keen production. Most
of their songs slide easily into the all- encompassing "folk" category,
but it's when they infuse song's like "Strangers Face", "Back Home To Me"
and "Strangebyrds" with mystery and foreboding that Strangebyrds become a
true gift for the ears, simultaneously
unsettling and satisfactory. Smith's guitar work is excellent, and there are
moments when the two singers voice's blend that induce chills.
