In Their Words: “‘Texas Birds’ kind of ‘fell in my lap.’ It’s derived from my hazy collection of memories and being a kid in South Texas obsessed with birds. At the time it was written, it felt like the ethos of the record I wanted to make, so much so that I named the band that played on the record and that plays with me live after it. Laith & The Texas Birds. I hadn’t seen the sun in 3 weeks one winter in Portland and all I wanted to see was some birds, but they were all hiding from the rain. The band started around that time, so I made them birds.” – Laith
