On March 6th, North Carolina's Bowerbirds will release their third full length, The Clearing on Dead Oceans. After two records filled with mostly sparse and Appalachian-esque instrumentational approach, The Clearing brings on a bigger, more fulfilled sound. Trading murder ballads for genteel pop - at least a little bit.

In addition to being the supposedly "difficult" third record, the band have also undergone a number of trials and tribulations during the writing and recording process. After the release of 2009's Upper Air, singer Beth Tacular nearly died of a mysterious illness and she and her band mate, Phil Moore have broken up and then reunited. Pretty tough circumstances under which to make a record.

Based on the first two unveiled songs, Bowerbirds sound better than ever. Below, you can find a track listing for The Clearing, catch up on the planned spring tour and stream/download a track from the new album called "In The Yard".
