3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing follow-up project from On! Air! Library! guitarist, but contains potential, November 5, 2007

This is a dissapointing album, considering the leaders' previous band, but it's nevertheless a good find for fans of shoegazing. Unfortunately, the lineup was unsettled during sessions, and as a result there's an inconsistent sound. Also, many songs are underdeveloped, lacking the vibrancy of On! Air! Library! They often suffer from having too few melodies, and from being too slow. At worst, the songs are soporific and boring, like well-produced demos of potentially good songs. At best, they sound like really good eighties goth/shoegazing (like late-decade Cure or early My Bloody Valentine). What works is pretty good, and about half the songs are definitely worth hearing (particularly the ones with Amanda Gerrett: "To No One" and "Please").

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing record, May 26, 2007

Daylight's For The Birds grew out of the New York band On!Air!Library. OAL was one of the best bands to come out of the NYC scene that included Interpol and Calla. I got to see the band play in New York in 2004. It was wonderful. They soon went on to support Interpol on their American tour that year. Soon after the band broke up. Main songwriter, Philip Wann, went on to form this new band with a member of The Boggs. After Claudia Deheza left the band, they found a regular singer. Songs like "Worlds Away" remind me of the great moments of the previous band. They were like an old band on the 4AD label. They take the music to a new level. This album is already one of my favorites. "For Now" reminds me of some of the early New Order tracks. Daylight's For The Birds is an astonishing record.
