Birdcloud is a country duo from Nashville, Tennessee. They are known for their raunchy lyrics, which offer commentary on life in the American South.[1] They have toured the United States and Europe.
Background
Birdcloud was formed in 2010 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee while Kaset and Green were attending Middle Tennessee State University; of their early acquaintance, the pair met at MTSU in 2009 did not initially like each other[2], but bonded during a barbecue after realizing they shared a mutual dislike of another student. [3] Within a week of first playing together, they were playing shows, and a year later recorded their first EP. [3] Birdcloud developed a signature playing style in which the two women face each other rather than their audience, as described by Kaset: "It’s less about excluding other people than doing what it takes to become Birdcloud." Green said: "We're not specifically these characters we sing about in our songs. It's a commentary on a mentality we have grown up around." [3]
Controversy
In response to their songs "Indianer" and "Black Guys", Birdcloud has received death threats [3] and calls for boycott [4].
