The Bird and The Bee is a unique little duo hailing from the city of Angels. If you haven’t heard their jazz-influenced electro pop, then check out their first two albums, The Bird and The Bee and Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future and let yourself fall in love with their groovy tunes. I was lucky enough to see these two open for Lily Allen back in 2007 and the hubs and I were hooked! You may not recognize their name, but chances are you have heard some of their tracks on such popular TV shows and movies as Grey’s Anatomy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Sex & the City: The Movie.
On Tuesday, the band released their third album, Interpreting the Masters Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates. As you can see from the title, it is a tribute to another immensely popular duo, Hall & Oates. One really cool factoid about this album? Rock goddess, Shirley Manson, (of Garbage fame) performs backing vocals on the track, Maneater.

That’s awesome! I loved their first album (especially Fucking Boyfriend).
Maneater sounds intriguing on the new one. 🙂

I love the song “Maneater” so I’m stoked to hear their rendition!
I have some of their stuff and really like their version of “How Deep is Your Love.”
