Vinyl LP pressing. Thomas Paine once said, "reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it." Fits Of Reason, the self-produced 2013 album by Brown Bird, raises its hat to Mr. Paine in a flurry of cerebral themes that surface in the album"s 11 songs. The band"s two members, David Lamb and MorganEve Swain, build their sound from the foundations of Blues and American Roots music, using the simple foot-percussion, violin, cello and upright bass for which they are known, while expanding Swain"s vocal presence and flaunting Lamb"s lyrical mastery. Recorded in their home-state of Rhode Island at Machines With Magnets.
