AllMusic Reviews Futurebirds, Chunky Glasses Calls Hotel Parties “One of the Year’s Best Releases”

Futurebirds have earned themselves an AllMusic review for their album Hotel Parties. Comparing the band to Big Star, REM, and My Morning Jacket, the review praises the album’s “easygoing yet complex style” and describes the band’s sound as “sauntering pop-country-psych” with lyrics “exploring themes of dualism and contradiction.” This is Futurebirds’ third album to date, and AllMusic says it’s the one that listeners should start with. Read the review here.

The band was a topic of discussion on the Chunky Glasses podcast, which says that Hotel Parties is one of the year’s best releases. The crew digs deep into the record, talking about their personal history with the band’s discography and how the songs reveal themselves with repeated listens.
