Naming your first release after your band is an auspicious way to introduce oneself, to say the least, but Birds & Souls have done just that-and the results more than live up to their sensational packaging. Birds & Souls' lead single 'Birds & Souls' (from the debut Birds & Souls EP on Spectral Sound) is an exuberant track built more for rock shows than dancefloors, charting a journey from giddy, congas-and-claves house to synth-drenched space disco to ecstatic arpeggiated bliss and back again. At šBirds & Souls›' apex, Birds & Souls member Sergio Giorgini intones šMy soul, it weighs a thousand pounds / touch the mountain, touch the ground›-at that moment, the duo seem everywhere at once, their feet stomping out a primal 4-on-the-floor, their heads soaring through the clouds. B-side šBirds & Souls (Birds & Beats Version)› indulges the track's cosmic side, emphasizing repetition, atmosphere, and chanting backing vocals; while šBirds & Souls (Runaway's Mountain & Ground Remix)› sees the Brooklyn-based DJ/producers and DFA alumni drag šBirds & Souls› into the dank, half-lit gloom of a sweaty basement party, all room-consuming bass and dirty, groaning keyboard stabs.
