Critical Acclaim for Rare Birds: "Rare Birds is easily Wilson's most lavishly orchestrated work... At once cosmic and chillingly immediate, Rare Birds shows Wilson exploring the many possible outcomes of that old equation of inspiration - heartbreak plus time equals art... He's an utterly original and irreverent thinker who's evolving with blinding speed." - NPR "(A) most magnificent recording, one that is mandatory listening if you are in search of an immersive album rock experience in the 21st century." - Billboard  "...strikingly original, beautifully crafted and filled with powerful and memorable songs. With a lush rock sound that recalls recent albums by The War on Drugs, Wilco and others, “Rare Birds” uses familiar sounds to take you on a totally new journey — and it’s an album in the classic sense, where the songs add up to more than the sum of their parts." - Variety    "Wilson's latest nods at Zappa, Talk Talk, Peter Gabriel and The Byrds... Rare Birds unpacks a wealth of sonic detail... This feels like a record you could lose yourself in for months." - MOJO - (4 Stars) "Rare Birds is sprawling, rich and, by and large, a triumph." - The Guardian (4 Stars) "Wilson turns in an album that backs up his skills from behind the scenes for other artists. Give this guy the spotlight too." - EarBuddy "dizzying in ambition ... dazzling in execution" - All Music Wilson's third solo release follows an eventful 2017, spent producing Father John Misty's Grammy-winning Pure Comedy as well as Karen Elson's critically acclaimedDouble Roses, and touring the globe as guitarist and vocalist for Pink Floyd legend Roger Waters. Rare Birds features contributions from acclaimed cohorts including the legendary Laraaji, Father John Misty, Lana Del Rey and Lucius.
