Birdlips' Drift project

Birdlips - Closer (Marin Headlands)
Shot by Elena Coyle in a dilapidated WWII barracks in the Marin Headlands near San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, June 2010.  Edited (barely) by Clifford John in FCP.  'Closer' was written while they were living in San Francisco but it's about the memories hanging out at the Occoquan Bay Wildlife Refuge in Woodbridge, Virginia.  This video is part of Birdlips' ongoing Drift project.

The duo from Charlottesville VA, Birdlips is Clifford John Usher (vocals, guitar) and Lindsay Pitts (keyboard, vocals).  Watch more ongoing Drift project.


About the DRIFT project
Birdlips is a band born of wanderlust. For our current project, DRIFT, we are roaming the United States searching for the soul of America and chronicling the experience through a series of EPs recorded in different locations all over the country. These traveling home recordings are released as they are finished, so the music is fresh, raw, and straight from our lips to your ears. Armed only with a few instruments, our meager savings and a digital 8-track recorder, we're finding inspiration everywhere from the busy highways of L.A. to the tar-lined beaches of the Florida panhandle.
