In the misty forests of the Pacific Northwest, Mimicking Birds craft a pastoral brand of atmospheric, acoustic-guitar-based indie rock in the realm of <a href="spotify:artist:4EVpmkEwrLYEg6jIsiPMIb">Fleet Foxes</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6xrCU6zdcSTsG2hLrojpmI">José González</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4MXUO7sVCaFgFjoTI5ox5c">Sufjan Stevens</a>. Originally the personal project of nature-loving frontman Nate Lacy, the band expanded after signing to Isaac Brock's <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Glacial+Pace+Recordings%22">Glacial Pace Recordings</a> in 2008, welcoming drummer Aaron Hanson and guitarist Tim Skellenger to the fold (later, Skellenger's place would be filled by guitarists Matthan Minster and then Ian Luxton). Later, bassist/keyboardist Adam Trachsel joined to round out the group. An official self-titled debut arrived in 2010, followed by relentless touring, including multiple stints with Brock's <a href="spotify:artist:1yAwtBaoHLEDWAnWR87hBT">Modest Mouse</a>. Sophomore effort Eons was released in 2014, with a cover of The Snowman theme "Walking in the Air" arriving a year later. Influenced by their travels and touring, their third LP, 2018's Layers of Us, featured more energy and production flourish than prior releases, heard on singles like "Sunlight Daze." ~ Neil Z. Yeung
