Eons

Portland, Oregon's Mimicking Birds release their sophomore outing, 'Eons' via Glacial Pace. Led by singer-songwriter Nate Lacey, the indie-folk outfit has made a name for itself by melodically weaving introspective lyrics over ambient landscapes. While the new album seems to find Lacey looking outward into the abyss of the universe, the lead single 'Bloodlines' proves that the band's knack for more reigned-in atmospherics remains as strong as ever. The gently trembling vocal will resonate with fans of My Morning Jacket and Phosphorescent; it sounds like a beam of light against the band's beautiful psych spirals.
