World Cafe, March 15, 2007 —
An indie-pop duo from Los Angeles,
The Bird and the Bee combines futuristic rhythms
and beats with ethereal vocals and catchy hooks,
producing an unusual and irresistible combination.
Singer Inara George (the "bird")
(daughter of the late Little Feat frontman Lowell George)
earned her own critical success with 2005's excellent All Rise.
Collaborator Greg Kurstin (the "bee"), a former piano prodigy,
has produced work for artists
such as The Flaming Lips, Lily Allen and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The two met several years ago when George was working on All Rise,
at which point they discovered a mutual love of jazz
and formed The Bird & The Bee.
After the 2006 release of a debut EP —
which contains three songs
and a chart-topping dance remix by Peaches —
the duo released its self-titled full-length debut in January.
