Bowerbirds are Beth Tacular, Phil Moore and Mark Paulson from North Carolina. They make leafy folk-pop with guitars, accordions and violins. They self-released their debut EP Danger at Sea in August 2006 and were signed to Burly Time Records later that year.
Their first full length album, Hymns For A Dark Horse, was released in Spring 2007 on Burly Time. Their fluent, characteristic style, marked by wonderfully skilled songcraft and bucolic imagery, has since earned them several positive reviews.
In early 2008, Bowerbirds signed to Dead Oceans, who soon reissued Hymns For A Dark Horse.

The Bowerbirds boys are in another band called Ticonderoga (a Bowerbirds song by that name too), you can download their DonGeroga EP for free on their website Ticonderobics (the one without cover) , and you can listen to both of their albums in full length on last.fm. 3songs of each album for free download, the name of the first album is written wrong though, should be "The Heilig-Levine LP". If anyone knows where to get that album please let me know...
