Music like The Wooden Birds

The Wooden Birds was a band from Austin, Texas (with members also in Brooklyn, NY), led by American Analog Set frontman, Andrew Kenny, formed in 2008. The band's final lineup, which Andrew Kenny introduced on stage as the "Hometown Fantasy Band", was Leslie Sisson (Western Keys, American Analog Set guest artist, Matt Pond PA) on lead guitar/vocals, and Sean Haskins on drums.

Their debut full-length album Magnolia was released on Barsuk Records (United States/Canada) and Morr Music (Europe) in 2009. Magnolia received attention from such publications as Pitchfork Media, Spin, and The Washington Post, with the track "Sugar" earning NPR's "Song of the Day." Since their record release, The Wooden Birds have played SXSW and toured Europe and the United States multiple times (Europe with Grand Archives, the U.S. with Other Lives, Great Lake Swimmers, The Clientele, Dan Mangan, and Broken Social Scene), totaling over 100 live performances in less than a year. They have been known to cover one or two American Analog Set songs in their live set.
