Review of Lord God Bird

An audio town portrait meets original composition. This is lovely snapshot of a town on the cusp of change--Brinkley's extinction and resurrection mirrored in the story of one amazing bird. Long Haul Productions takes the 1-minute news clip beyond the mere headlines--exploring the voices of a town through interviews and an ethereal song by Sufjan Stevens.
