What a great surprise to be introduced to Denver’s Paper Bird. The 7-piece group of lookers brings on the real deal: good vibes, old-school musicianship on a variety of instruments including strings, horns and unadorned voices, mostly female, which blend harmoniously with intent earthiness and enough authentic passion to make you want to knee-slap or join elbows with a partner and spin around some.
Paper Bird’s gimmick-free, mesmerizing folk grabs in the right places and invites happy listening rather than smashing you in the head to force an impression. End result: All-organic and naturally addictive – I keep going back to listen to more.
