Today, Birds of Chicago release their new full-length album Love in Wartimeon Signature Sounds Recordings. The album features 'Superlover', 'Never Go Back' and 'Roll Away', which NPR can't get enough of. 'We can almost see a full audience on their feet in a live show, singing and dancing along,' says Kim Ruehl (Folk Alley, NPR 'Heavy Rotation: 10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing') adding, 'Roll Away' celebrates change, with all its painful revelations and inevitable doubt.'

BRIC presents "secular gospel" duo Birds of Chicago on March 8 in an evening of raw and soul-rich music that demands to be experienced live, co-curated with Joan Osborne's Womanly Hips Presents. Mixing folk, mountain gospel and soul, the husband-and-wife-led band return to New York in support of their new EP, American Flowers. Birds of Chicago formed in 2012 as a collaboration between Chicago's JT Nero (JT & the Clouds) and Vancouver's Allison Russell (Po' Girl). These two seasoned songwriters convey stark, elemental imagery that feels like scripture-or a lost folk song recovered-and they draw heavily on the gospel tradition, making music that feels boldly new while evoking a sense of familiarity. For Birds of Chicago, every word counts. Every note counts. No gold-dusting, no filler.
