It’s always bonus when good things happen to great people, and that is just what the past year or so has been like for Bowerbirds. After getting scooped up by Dead Oceans records to re-release their excellent album, Hymns For A Dark Horse earlier this summer, the band have been out on the road with Bon Iver and others and having a blast in the process.

And now, a music video (their first) is checked off the list of things to do in 2008 for the North Carolina band, and just in time for the European leg of their current tour. Below, check out the new video, and listen to their recent session with us at WOXY.com.

About Joe Long

Joe started ENS in 2003 after most people he wanted to talk to about music were worn thin by his ramblings. The outlet this site provided helped out, and somehow is still going 9 years later. After a four year stint as a WOXY DJ, Joe returned to Cincinnati and continues to pioneer ENS. In addition to the overall look and feel of the site, Joe provides regular reviews, and kinda makes sure this whole thing stays afloat.
