Bitter Birds "lures the senses in with a brooding, slightly more experimental side of indie pop, which some fans have compared to early Cure – less poppy and more deliciously bleak." - Laurie Gallardo, Austin Music Minute KUTX. Sept. 16, 2013

"Bitter Birds, The Blackheart - Dark indie pop coming straight outta ATX. Their haunting sound recalls the early singles of Seattle’s Pretty Girls Make Graves with a heavy Cure influence. Singer Mayberry (yes, that’s her name) has the voice of a dark angel and emotion oozes from every syllable of her vocals. Give these guys an album or two and I’m certain that they’ll carry themselves far." - James Roberts, www.readthehorn.com, Sept. 26, 2013

"Guitar/Drummer duo Bitter Birds have been honing a dreamy rock sound on par with the spacious meandering fretwork of Pedro The Lion. Dark vibes saturate each song, leaving plenty of etherial gloom to be pierced by the lilting vocals of Singer Mayberry."
- www.SonicVaultAustin.com, Sept. 30, 2013

Blacklist 7" Review, 2012:
"guitarist/vocalist Singer Mayberry and her drummer/vocalist husband David Lujan crank out black-hewn indie-pop...Foreboding basslines serve as the fulcrum for both tracks here, providing an effective emotive counterweight to Mayberry's resolute high-end vocals. Sparsely deployed guitar and drums finish out the trio's tasteful arrangements. Paired with exquisite silk-screened cover art, Bitter Birds deliver a complete package." - Greg Beets, The Austin Chronicle, Dec. 28, 2012
