In the summer of 1998 Birdie recorded their debut album \u003cstrong\u003eSome Dusty\u003c\/strong\u003e with the estimable Brian O'Shaughnessy (Denim, Moose, The Clientele).

Add in gorgeous string arrangements from The High Llamas' Sean O'Hagan and you have all the makings of a pop classic. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSubsequent singles and a second album cemented their reputation as top-notch purveyors of pop, but family life and other artistic pursuits called and Birdie has only been sporadically active since 2001.
