Stream Mega Bog’s Happy Together

February 1, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Having listened to Happy Together for the entirety of last night, I decided you’d be best served by spending some joyous time listening yourself. There’s so many musical touchstones that are pulled off brilliantly that you’ll be forming your new band with a different goal in mind. While it fits easily into the modern indie spectrum, you’ll also find touches of jazz and symphonic orchestration that elevate the album as a whole. For me, the best part of the musical journey is that it doesn’t sound strange or odd at all; it only makes me wonder why more people haven’t adopted such an eclectic touch. Mega Bog will release the record on this week via Nicey Music.

Jazzy Number from Mega Bog

January 11, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The excitement is building for those of us in the know about Erin Birgy’s project, Mega Bog. In fact, there’s been a larger push on this second LP, with many sites taking note of her work. This new single has some real jazzy qualities to it, though the vocal delivery still has that poetic playfulness for balance (sort of reminds me of early Fiery Furnaces). It almost sounds like the most kick ass elevator music you ever heard…and I love the recording touch of a nice bit of laughter at the end, celebrating the fun of songwriting. I think Happy Together is going to come across as one of the most eccentric bits of pop infused music we’ll hear this year; it hits on February 3rd via Nicey Music.

Brand New Mega Bog Track

November 2, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Gone Banana was this great little effort that introduced many of us to Mega Bog, the project of Erin Birgy, and now that she’s solidified herself as an incredible talent, her new single is winning rave reviews. It’s no surprise, as the songwriting has always been there, but she’s crafted this elegance with her voice, still touching up space with bits of carefully bent strings and studio production. You’ll find it hard to pull yourself away from this tune, much as a bog would hold you still in its deep muck…though here your ears will ring with joy. Happy Together, her new effort, will be released on February 3rd via Nicey Music.
