Album Description

Customer Reviews:
Katie Steele Rocks.......2006-06-27
This is the first album from Little Birdy.
I must admit I was a bit sceptical when I first heard Little Birdy, Katie Steele's vocals are quite different and do take a little bit of getting used to, but after seeing the band live at a small venue in Melbourne, Australia I realised that this band rocked.
The album in quite short in length but the quality is sensational.
Do yourself a favour and purchase this, you will not be disappointed.
Also if you can get your hands on Katie Steele's version of "These boots are made for walking" released a long time before Jessica Simpson, you will see what I mean. Katie puts a lot more rock and sex appeal into it and makes it sound sensational.
Sugar Poppy Melancholy.......2006-02-15
From the Western Australian alterno-pop-rock school (if that describes it), where most of Austrlia's good stuff has come from of late. Not soemthing I would normally seek out, but I really like it.
The obvious uniqueness with this is the vocals, can't think of who it reminds me of, some 80's sugar pop, like a girly girly high pitched smoker. Different, but really lends something to the jangly guitar driven music.
That said, a unique voice doesn't make a great singer or a great song, but these songs are really good if not better, and the singing is honest, heartfelt and edgy. The vocal melodies feed and soar from the melancholy love gone wrong music.
Well worth checking out along with Eskimo Jo, otherwise I'll stick to my wanky prog-rock.
A unique rock album.......2005-04-03
This is an alternative / rock debut album release from the original Australian quartet Little Birdy. The lead singer (Katy Steele) vocals are the most weirdest vocals I have ever heard. I can definatly see her Bjork influences in her voice and songwriting - she wrote 11 out of the 12 songs on Bigbiglove.
My favourites are the third single Excited, the high-energy Losing You, although my favourite is the incredibly weird and original: "Message To God".
The album displays a wide range of music genre's: country (track 3), alternative (tracks 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11), pop (tracks 4, 5, and 9) and rock (tracks 1, 2, 4, 10, and 12) It went Gold and peaked at #5 in Australia.
I strongly recommend this to fans of Bjork like myself - this album is overrated in a sense that it is perceived as "just another" new rock group but Little Birdy are not. Originality is their main strength.
I recommend this to alternative, rock, pop and/or country fans. One reason this album was such a breakthrough album was because it appeals to a very wide audience, as you can see.
Note: The live disk on the special edition is also very good. Track 3, This Is A Love Song is bloody Amazing.
