The Bird and the Bee

THE BIRD AND THE BEE

RATING: 3 SOUND LEVELS

The Bee in this nest is Inara George. With her quavery, honey tone, George–the daughter of Little Feat frontman Lowell George–zips around breezy songs like “Again and Again,” “I’m a Broken Heart” and “I Hate Camera” with the calm of a bossa nova chanteuse. The result is soothing, hip and oh so ’60s, thanks also to multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin–the Bird. It’s on his wings that the album takes flight, referencing everything from tropicalia to jazz to electronic music. “Getz Au Go-Go” it isn’t, but the 10-song disc is lovely just the same.
