San Francisco’s The Love-Birds have been breaking hearts and making fans across the city’s disappearing DIY spaces and proper venues alike since 2016. After releasing a 7-inch EP in early 2017, they’re ready to unveil In The Lover’s Corner, their debut album & first release on Trouble In Mind. The album eases into view with the first track, “Again”; it’s gentle acoustic strum augmented by guitarist Eli Wald’s chiming electric twelve-string. From there the listener is treated to dynamic, life-affirming power-pop; bell-ringing, fuzz stompers, warm, carefully crafted fragile pop and urgent, crystalline rockers. The Love-Birds approach their craft with a classicist’s ear; with nods to their Seventies originators as well as Nineties torch-bearers, composing near-perfect future classics that ooze with subtle, interesting melodic twists and hummable, finger-pricking hooks that are instantly memorable. Mastered by Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), with album art by Shayde Sartin ( Fresh & Onlys) and recorded with Glenn Donaldson and Kelley Stoltz.
