While the band
Wilderness was on extended hiatus for nearly 2 years, the bands guitarist Colin McCann went to work recording his solo project on a 4-track cassette in his home. Calling his project The Lord Dog Bird, he released a self titled LP with the record label Jagjaguwar. Don't rule him out though just because he picked what some would consider a silly artist name for his music. The album is a very personal portrait of tracks that clearly reflect a time in which true self-exploration took place. The echoed sounds that hit the cassette seep through softly into your ears for a very intimate yet gritty sound, one you would play on a lazy warm evening with friends having a few drinks.
For those of you who were cool enough to love neutral milk hotel before he was "big" in the indie scene, I suggest you keep an eye on The Lord Dog Bird.
