about

"It’s a bleak noir of sad diary entries, it’s paced expertly, and occasionally pauses to let a little light in in the form of a beautiful humming string crescendo. With drummer and studio wiz Steve Boaz, Lofties brings these sad tales to a creepy sort of life, whether they’re plucking a banjo, or summoning a ghost chorus from the other side."

-Matt Carney, Look@OKC

"Songs on Every Little Thing She Does Is Tragic resemble the dreary, acoustic guitar-driven storytelling of Elliott Smith and the gentle orchestrated flourishes of a Grizzly Bear record."

-Nathan Poppe, The Oklahoman

"Heavily atmospheric, slow-paced and occasionally ghostly, Magnificent Bird's sprawling opus drifts between acoustic folk and post-rock ambience to stir a ruminating abyss. Every Little Thing She Does Is Tragic emotes through detachment."

-Evan Jarvix, Cellar Door Music Group

"There's a kind of magic discovered among the tragic imagery"

- Doug Hill, The Norman Transcript

about

Magnificent Bird Norman, Oklahoma

Magnificent Bird is a compulsion. Something seeping up from the earthquake-fractued clay of Oklahoma, brooding and bruised, at once virgin yet familiar. A small band’s dedication to the failing light of their 20s and the washed out visage of the future
