The Bird and The Bee

I had a $5.00 credit with Amazon.com — but could only spend it on an MP3 Song or Album. Amazon's MP3 store seems fairly thin on music that I recognize (or don't already own), but I happened across The Bird and The Bee. And I remembered a review I'd heard on Fresh Air not too long ago...

(I must tell you, one reason I wouldn't otherwise bother with Amazon's MP3 store is that it requires the installation of a separate program to facilitate the download of purchases you make. I'm honestly not sure why that irritates me so much, but it does.)

So where was I?

There's a distinct quality of distance to the music, and even to the vocals — yet I still find it all charming and delightful. I've been completely won over.
