 Floorbirds formed in Chicago around 2002 with band members Harry Brenner, Andy Crossen, Brian Davis, and Andy Levin. When asked to describe their music, Crossen replied "...a demi-poppy, less frightening Lou Reed". Around September of 2004, the band released their first album entitled "The Sea Of Language Around Us" on Barcode Press.
The opening, not to mention the stand-out, track "Planes" pulls you in with haunting voices and melodic harmonies. The songs go from lazy pop ("Splitting Up") to uptempo beats ("Time Looks Back").  The five-track release has elements of the Beach Boys' knack for harmonies and the Beatles' experimental phase with unconventional noises. "If You Want Me Don't Be Sorry" is the most trippy song on the album with eerie vocals not quite singing along together while emersed in subtle keyboards and strange electronic noises. Each song offers a unique sound, neither sounding like the previous track. For more information, visit their website: http://www.floorbirds.com
