Critical Acclaim for Rare Birds:

“Rare Birds is easily Wilson’s most lavishly orchestrated work… At once cosmic and chillingly immediate, Rare Birds shows Wilson exploring the many possible outcomes of that old equation of inspiration – heartbreak plus time equals art… He’s an utterly original and irreverent thinker who’s evolving with blinding speed.” – NPR

“(A) most magnificent recording, one that is mandatory listening if you are in search of an immersive album rock experience in the 21st century.” – Billboard

“…strikingly original, beautifully crafted and filled with powerful and memorable songs. With a lush rock sound that recalls recent albums by The War on Drugs, Wilco and others, “Rare Birds” uses familiar sounds to take you on a totally new journey — and it’s an album in the classic sense, where the songs add up to more than the sum of their parts.” – Variety

“Wilson’s latest nods at Zappa, Talk Talk, Peter Gabriel and The Byrds… Rare Birds unpacks a wealth of sonic detail… This feels like a record you could lose yourself in for months.” – MOJO – (4 Stars)

“Rare Birds is sprawling, rich and, by and large, a triumph.” – The Guardian (4 Stars)

“Wilson turns in an album that backs up his skills from behind the scenes for other artists. Give this guy the spotlight too.” – EarBuddy

“dizzying in ambition … dazzling in execution” – All Music
