Summerbirds In The Cellar
Summerbirds in the Cellar’s Druids is as haunting as it is healing. Similar to the band’s previous release With the Hands of the Hunter It All Becomes Dead, Brad Register’s lyrics continue to mine dark caves and offer bleak, apocalyptic perspectives about our existence. The words are true, expressing beliefs and fears that have deep, universal resonance.
Druids surpasses its predecessor in intention and execution. The songwriting here is more focused and confident, with melodies that weave in and around the band’s trademark thick layers of guitars and keyboards. None of the nine tracks exist in isolation, but rather build upon one another, providing a powerful unity to the whole record. Rooted in rhythm, the sound is dense and muggy with a dream-like quality unlike anything the southeast music scene has produced. The patience precision of Druids further confirms Summerbirds in the Cellar as the Southeastern region’s most important and talented band.
