Like A Virgin

Virgin of the BirdsVirgin Of The Birds
From: Seattle, Washington, United States

Tonight the Devil gives you Virgin of the Birds, a lo-fi indie pop band founded by Jon Rooney as an outlet for Rooney's songs outside of his now defunct Bay Area group, Morning Spy.

Named after a poor English translation of a Salvador Dali painting, the band have already been lauded by one of the Devil's favourite blogs Song by Toad.

They have a new EP out now, Banquet Years, which is the latest in a series of freely downloadable EPS from Abandoned Love Records. 'Every Revelry' is a perfect piece of purest pop, the sort of pop that lifts the spirits and regenerates the soul. 'Let Me Be Your Bride' starts like an homage to early Motown with the best use of a tambourine since Jack Ashford retired before morphing into another indie pop gem. The other tracks on the EP are just as good and worth checking out.

Check out Virgin of the Birds you'll be touched for the very first time.
