Hello Blackbird is the 2006 original Mercury Rev score for the French independent film "Bye Bye Blackbird." This soundtrack album features 19 tracks consisting almost entirely of instrumentals with only an occasional processed vocal.
"Song fragments fueled by singing saws and woodwind drones, which drift by and collide, the album feels like a half-remembered dream of Deserter's songs. If few tracks are memorable on their own (the waltzes "The White Birds" and "Waltz for Alice" do stand out), the album conveys a powerful mood of otherworldly beauty." – Trouser Press
