The duo, under the name Molina & Johnson, releases a long-awaited self-titled LP next month.

Johnson’s aching melodies and weary delivery are at the forefront of the album’s opening track, “Twenty Cycles to the Ground.” But, Molina’s backing harmonies are a nice addition, providing levity by filling the crags in Johnson’s voice.

Molina & Johnson – “Twenty Cycles To the Ground”

Looking forward to hearing more from Molina & Johnson. The album is out Nov. 3 on Secretly Canadian.

On “Northern Lights,” Bowerbirds take inventory of life’s simple necessities. At the top of the list are peace of mind, natural beauty and, most importantly, love–ideas that are plain in their presentation, but powerful in their message.

Musically, “Northern Lights” continues that inventory. The rhythm sways along with Bowerbirds’ proven instrumentation–an acoustic guitar, a basic drum beat and a few ornamental piano lines. Basic, but potent, when matched with Phil Moore’s lush vocals, especially as the song builds to its affirming peak.

It’s a wonderful song from start to finish, but the intoxicating refrain is what sticks to you: “All I want is your eyes/In the morning as we wake/For a short while.” The final line seems to come out of time, but falls into place at the last perfect moment.

Bowerbirds – “Northern Lights”

“Northern Lights” appears on Upper Air, out now via Dead Oceans. Bowerbirds are currently on tour.
