DESCRIPTION:
Miyuki Furtado is a multi-instrumentalist from Brooklyn and is currently playing drums with psych-rockers Dead Sands and has a solo project called Divining Rod. He was also the bassist / singer for one of Brooklyn's original "breakout" bands of the early 2000s called The Rogers Sisters, who recorded for Too Pure Records (Stereolab, PJ Harvey, Electrelane, Th' Faith Healers).
BUT, here we find him ALONE at his home in Irvington, NY playing a beautifully chilling version of Neil Young's "Birds" from his 'After The Gold Rush' album. Please take a moment, if you can take your eyes off Miyuki's sweet 'stache, to notice his cop-style SUNGLASSES circa 1963. Obviously he's ALONE, so who is that singing with him you might ask...why it's him via a loop pedal.
