There have been many duos in the history of pop music, but few, if any, like the Bird and the Bee. Consisting of Greg Kurstin (all instruments except horns) and Inara George (vocals, and daughter of late Little Feat guitarist Lowell George), Bird and the Bee craft sleek, refined pop songs rich with edgy humor, all seductively conveyed by George's distinctively cool, feathery voice. With its elegant mix of alt-rock catchiness (think Blondie, XTC, Stereolab) and some Brazilian bossa nova touches, THE BIRD AND THE BEE is a noteworthy debut disc.

Rolling Stone (p.80) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The tracks are expertly constructed and often packed with ideas..."

Q (p.117) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[G]overned by melodic electro-pop bearing distinct echoes of bossa nova....A perfect setting for George's intoxicatingly sweet voice."
