The Bird and the Bee – Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future
Here The Bird and the Bee serve up something out of Alice and Wonderland mixed with memories of your mom singing you to sleep; repetitive, soothing, and charming. Ray Guns, the follow up to The Bird and the Bee’s first self titled album, is about what you would expect from...
