40 Day Dream (Live)

Former Ima Robot frontman shows us what The Polyphonic Spree would sound like if it took a music class from Arcade Fire.

Their debut album Up From Below is out now.

This is a live BBC version of Winter Hill by the Doves off the album Kingdom of Rust which came out in April 2009. Doves are an English indie rock band, originating from Wilmslow. The band comprises brothers Jez Williams (guitar, vocals) and Andy Williams (drums, vocals), and Jimi Goodwin (bass, vocals, guitar). The members started working seriously together after meeting at The Haçienda in Manchester.Doves’ unofficial fourth member is Martin Rebelski, who plays keyboards.

In support of his album Noble Beast, Andrew Bird will be playing at Babeville in Buffalo, NY on October 21, 2009 along with special guest St. Vincent. The track Anonanimal was featured as an earlier post on Sparkups. This track, was off the album Armchair Apocrypha, another solid Bird album. Enjoy and support the show if you can.
