Some bands are more than willing to sit on their laurels, never evolving, happy to churn out the same kind of tired bollcokry year after year. Not Wildbirds and Peacedrums. Whilst their initial MO was vocals and drums, their range of instrumentation has expanded rapidly over the years and now they've acquired a choir to add new textures and harmonies to their percussively primal compositions. Although some of the new songs seem a little undistinguished compared to some of their older material, there's also moments of great beauty, and when they launched into "My Heart" complete with choral backing, I don't there was a single person in the room who didn't feel a shiver go down their spine. One of the best live bands touring today.
