Yards & Gods

Ptarmigan’s second full length, recorded with Wil Reeves at Centro Cellar Studio and released on April 22nd, 2011. Free streaming and download below. Here’s what some people said about it:

The Columbia, Missouri, trio Ptarmigan has made a fine album of dreamy pop music that’s well-suited for a warm summer evening… Ptarmigan’s artful use of insect chatter gives a nice, rhythmic textures to the melodic pop on the disc… The Forest Darling benefits from this ambient noise but doesn’t lean on it as a shtick; instead, the band’s sugary, rubbery hooks recall the blissed-out sunbursts of Tripping Daisy and mid-period Flaming Lips.

-Christian Schaeffer, The Riverfront Times

The Forest Darling is as good a record as I’ve heard this year. The trio pull from a wide array of influences to form a rather coherent eleven-song album that you should really check out. Those influences? The ones I hear and have read about include but are not limited to Peruvian forest sounds, early Modest Mouse, Born Ruffians, and The Flaming Lips. So, one can instantly see the appeal this record carries.

-Zac Early, Building International Coalitions Through Beer and Pavement
