NPR All Songs « First Watch » – The Barr Brothers « Beggar in the Morning »

The Barrs craft a world that maintains the soft, contemplative sound of much folk music while teasing the ear with overlapping layers of hums, vibrations, whistles and stomps … The « Beggar in the Morning » video finds Bircher using the mismatched and reconfigured bones of dead animals to construct skeletal likenesses of the band. The bony creatures come to life to perform before a twirling, dancing skeletal audience.
