There are moments that come to people in the artistic world when transition is imminent. This moment seems to have arrived for Scott Anderson and Noodlebird. After getting started in 2012 making music under the Noodlebird moniker, bandmates came in and out, with a permanent lineup only recently established. Listening to that first EP, in 2012, and then hearing their 2014 output, it's hard to believe that the same person was behind both sounds. In fact, Anderson seemed embarrassed that I had actually found and listened to that early work, Noodlebird Vol. 1.

"Oh man, you found that?" laughs Anderson. "I thought I had gotten rid of that forever ago! Oh no. That is so long ago. We really haven't released anything otherwise. That was with the original group of people. Maybe three years ago, almost. We don't really sound like that anymore."
