Birds is a tremendously emotive effort, the lead-off track from ShÄy’s new LP, Quest. The track blends together indie-rock with ambient and electronic elements. This unique mash-up of approaches and styles will have listeners focused in, as rich jazz horns and contemplative guitar lines unite into something special. The bit of vocals that are presented to listeners are the unifying element, making for a track that could easily make it onto college radio. ShÄy’s arrangements on Birds will stand up to repeat plays, with subsequent spins showcasing new twists and turns that are previously unnoticed.
