Thoughts about the music…

A rousing ode to intimate connection, ‘Mailman’ is a gentle giant of country-folk beauty.
— Atwood Magazine
Quite an emotional and musical ride that flirts with the power of The Lumineers or The Head and the Heart.
— Boogixote
In short, “Better Bird” has a light-hearted feel that’s still groove driven enough to move to with catchy poetry-forward songwriting, and just enough musical complexity to temper the average cold critic.
