The Wooden Birds are on fire. They teased their recently released second album, "Two Matchsticks," with an Ep that featured covers of two radically different, yet equally brilliant songs -- Hall & Oates' lusty "Maneater" and Kenny Rogers and the First Edition's forlorn, "Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town."
The third track on that Ep was the ditty, "Two Matchsticks," which is also the full length album's title track, and its artfully menacing video (below) was created by animator Justin Goldwater. The Wooden Birds' spark and jangle is crafted by frontman Andrew Kenny (American Analog Set, Broken Social Scene), Sean Haskins, Leslie Sisson and Matt Pond (Matt Pond Pa). The album also features special guests, Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard and members of Ola Podrida. "Two Matchsticks" is out now on Barsuk.
