Birds of Maya are a band who donât seem all that concerned with the formalities of being a band. The Philly trio doesnât really remember when they formedââsomewhere between 2000 and 2004â is their best guesstimate. They took about half a decade to properly issue their first album in 2008, and then, after twofollow-ups, checked out for most of the 2010s. And while the arrival of
Valdez, their first record in eight years, might seem like an encouraging sign of life, it was actually recorded seven years ago, thereby blurring the line between a comeback effort and a reissue of a lost album.
