BIRD STREETS

Website | Instagram

Brooklyn artist John Brodeur conceived Bird Streets as his return to a band format after a lengthy stint as a solo artist. The new point of view proved to be artistically freeing, moving Brodeur to officially adopt the moniker as his nom de guerre with the release of a self-titled 2018 LP. That album, produced by indie-pop hero Jason Falkner, was a refreshing blast of classic-yet-modern melodic rock that received accolades from PopMatters (“a rock solid power-pop gem”) and NPR Music, which named Bird Streets a Slingshot Artist alongside then-emerging talents like Phoebe Bridgers and The Beths.

For Lagoon, his second album under the Bird Streets name, Brodeur widely expanded on the project’s collaborative foundation, enlisting production by Patrick Sansone (Wilco) and Michael Lockwood (Fiona Apple), plus guest appearances from Ed Harcourt, Aimee Mann, and Big Star's Jody Stephens. Recorded across three years in Tennessee and New York and eventually California, these 12 songs are both epic and intimate, often simultaneously–as honest and vulnerable as they are lush and melodic. Lagoon has been called "sublime" (Coachella Valley Weekly), "luxurious and literate" (Rock & Roll Truth), and "an emotional tour de force" (Glide). It's an enormous step forward from an artist who has been hailed for his evocative storytelling and keen attention to craft.

A native of upstate New York, John Brodeur began his recording career with 2000’s Tiger Pop, and prior to Bird Streets he released two more solo albums, in addition to EPs with The Suggestions and Maggie Mayday. He has performed or toured with Juliana Hatfield, They Might Be Giants, Alana Davis, and Fountains of Wayne.
