Acclaimed Brooklyn artist Bird Streets has returned with Lagoon (Sparkle Plenty/Deko). For his second album under the Bird Streets name, John Brodeur has widely expanded on the project’s collaborative foundation, enlisting production by Pat Sansone of Wilco, Michael Lockwood, Zach Jones (Sting) and Oscar Albis Rodriguez, plus guest appearances from the likes of Aimee Mann, Ed Harcourt, John Davis (Superdrag), and Jody Stephens (Big Star). With mixing split between Sansone and Grammy winner Michael Brauer, and mastering by Grammy nominee Pete Lyman, Lagoon is an enormous step forward from an artist who has been hailed for his evocative storytelling and keen attention to craft. Bird Streets was first conceived as Brodeur’s return to a band format after a lengthy stint as a solo artist. The new point of view proved to be artistically freeing, moving Brodeur to officially adopt the moniker as his nom de guerre with the release of a self-titled 2018 LP. Produced by indie-pop hero Jason Falkner, "Bird Streets" was a refreshing blast of classic-yet-modern melodic rock that received accolades from PopMatters (“a rock solid power-pop gem”), The Deli (“timeless and honest”), and NPR Music, which named Bird Streets an Artist to Watch alongside then-emerging talents like Phoebe Bridgers and The Beths.
