The 2007 release from Claire Jenkins Avec Band.

Claire Jenkins Avec Band with producer Don Kerr bring you their fantastic fantastical album Crow's Nest/ Nid de Pie. This low budget epic was recorded in sequence and with no overdubs. Cables were passed up through the heating vents to transform M. Kerr's living room into the upper extension of Rooster Studios. Special effects, such as rocking chars and boxing gloves were later added.

A boat ride of fancy, a serious romp of whimsy, a proto-pop recording.

"Captured in all it's glory." - John Sakamoto, The Anti-Hit List, The Toronto Star

"Enchanting... intriguing audio vérité document of the "low-budget epic." - Tim Perlich

"The songs are quirky, but instantly catchy and appealing, and I was shocked by how easy it was to embrace the songs from Crow's Nest/Nid de Pie" - Read the full review at Hero Hill.com
