Birds Falling from the Sky

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
The Harmonica Pocket is all about intelligent, outside-the-box pop songs for people who think for themselves.

At the core of the Harmonica Pocket are the mature, swinging tunes of Keeth Monta Apgar (acoustic wah-wah guitar, harmonica, words) whose thick jazz chord progressions and unpredictable changes offer a refreshing twist on today's commercial pop music.

Both live and in the studio, the Harmonica Pocket is made up of a rotating caste of musicians including Lorne Watson (half drum kit / half congas & percussion), Jon Ryser (alto saxophone), Nala Walla (vocal harmony), as well as many other untraditional sounds. The Harmonica Pocket's 2005 release was a collaboration between 25 different musicians and a handful of visual artists.

Album Description
"Birds Falling from the Sky" is an 18 track concept album by Seattle performance and recording project The Harmonica Pocket. Released in August 2005, the record is an eclectic, unpredicable tally of genre-crossing tunes.

From the experimental opening soundscape "last night i saw" into "earth over air" a folk-reggae track spliced with voicemail excerpts; OR from the lo-fi record player blues on "bag of never" to the beatlesque epic pop song "the stars are all out," song after song the Harmonica Pocket consistently takes musical risks and effortlessly colors outside the lines of commerical music.

Unlike hundreds of todays upcoming artisits, Harmonica Pocket goes off the typical boring path of making each song on an album sound like the one before and after it. The fun combination of sounds, instruments and lyrics makes each song on the album totally different from another. Imagine that! It is so refreshing to hear truly NEW music. Lemonbomb might just be the best song ever for driving to work in the morning, cooking dinner or even waking up to! Pocketful... AAHHHH great song.
KUDOS!

With some independently released albums including a very charming one for children, The Harmonica Pocket brings a lot of heart to their music; which in my dumb opinion more than few major label artists seem to lack. I can't help but feel a little happier while I'm listening to this cd.

The songs, lyrics, vocals are all very original and creative. I'd be hard pressed to pick the best but my personal favorites are Earth Over Air, Drive, Float/Fall, and See Ya Maria. [...]

Anyway, I honestly can't think of anything I'd fault or criticise this album on. There's two cds worth of songs here and nearly all of them are good so give them a chance.
