Bishop Allen - Butterfly Nets (mp3)

This song is very twee, with the same twinkly aura as The Deirdres with adorably sincere lyrics to boot. Songpong (well, half of Songpong) attended the Bishop Allen show last weekend, and they were wonderful.

“calm that wicked wind,
to pick you up
and carry you off eastward,
though i did release you
for to seek a warmer sky

should you be blown back
know that i will always run to greet you,
still surprised to catch you
every time”

Fun fact: The two founding members of Bishop Allen graduated from Harvard University! They named their band after Bishop Allen Drive in Cambridge, MA.
