Pasta & Peas (An Interview with Active Bird Community)

Forgiveness is tricky business. It’s
all-consuming, emptying, tangled, exhilarating, infuriating
and utterly exhausting…as Active Bird Community knows all too
well. Their latest album, “Amends,” rides each one of these
waves, serving as a soundtrack to the sometimes seemingly
insurmountable summit of indemnification. In a year that brought
forth a dizzying torrent of anger and chaos, “Amends” exists as
an essential injection of visceral honesty that readjusts the
focus of attention and action inward. This album is a glowing
reminder that before we can pardon the world around us, we must
first accomplish the messiest, most necessary feat of making
amends with ourselves.
