Reviews:

“Sometimes cussedness is an essential virtue for musicians. The Doomed Bird Of Providence’s Mark Kluzek oozes cussedness like sweat. He’s an Australian in exile, assembling a group of Brit players to realise his singleminded vision, which involves Kluzek barking out blacker than black tales of horror and misery from Australia’s early history. Blind Mouths Eat is his second bulletin from the festering underbelly of 19th century Oz.” – Clive Bell, The Wire Nov 2013

Blind Mouths Eat by The Doomed Bird of Providence has been picking up some great reviews – see a few snippets below.  You can also read Mark Kluzek’s Portal feature over at The Wire’s website.

 
“There’s a need to hold hands with the almost dead and this album does it in the most beautiful/ugly way ever.” –Freq
 
“a funeral waltz into sunlight” – ATTN: Magazine
 
“Think Nick Cave, Matt Elliott’s solo work, or one of the Constellation droners singing dark folk songs of horror and misery from Australian history.” – Norman Records
 
“Gripping and astonishingly grim music” – Sounds XP
 
“Uncompromising and at times uncomfortable, these songs remove the usual safety nets and aren’t afraid to change the rules. They are becoming one of the bands that you don’t want to miss.” –  Americana UK
 
“Dark yet strangely beautiful and phenomenally powerful, ‘Blind Mouths Eat’ is an album to ponder, to agonise over and to clutch your plague-ridden guts to.” – Whisperin’ and Hollerin’
