The Foo Birds

The Foo Birds distill the essentials of pop music: solid song craft, endless hooks, and propulsive grooves. But they re-assemble them according to their own recipe, informed by an irresistible mix of jazz-schooling, open-hearted lyrics and precision funkiness. All in all, it all makes for a sound whose roots are on display for all to see, but with a nuance that is entirely their own.
