about

Myrtle Avenue is Montreal band Bluebird’s first full length album, out via Baby Horse Records!

Building on the alt-country influence of their debut EP, Two Birds Landed On A Line, the album sees the band’s sound developing into something decidedly more expansive and alternative. Blending rock, country, folk, shoegaze and psychedelia, Myrtle Avenue reveal new possibilities for the alt-country genre. What we find behind singer Dan Beasy’s unique voice is a vast expanse of eclectic instrumentation, expertly brought to life by a rotating cast of musicians and friends.

Written primarily during Dan’s stint living in Montreal’s infamous St-Henri institution, the Fattal Lofts, Myrtle Avenue introduces a cast of characters largely inspired by real-life connections. “Nothing cool about dying on a dirty floor” he sings in the album opener, “Low Life.” Having seen it all too often, his lines are at times visceral and raw. But if they are so, it’s that he cares: “I just hope my friends will be ok” he sings…“can’t keep on going killing yourself day after day.”

While the world of Myrtle Avenue may seem filled with struggle, there is always a glint of hope shimmering in the distance, the dim light of the far off “electric fire” — love. With it there is always the chance of renewal: “we’d be brand new / no longer fools,” Dan sings on My Everything; if only you’d show me “everything tonight.”
