&lt;p&gt;Recording engineer: Steven Kray with technical assistance from Randy Layton&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ahead of their debut release due out later in March on Isaac Brock's &lt;a onclick="window.open(this.href,'','resizable=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,toolbar=no,fullscreen=no,dependent=no,status'); return false" href="http://www.glacialpace.com/"&gt;Glacial Pace&lt;/a&gt; label, the upstart Portland trio plays their mesmerizing, cosmos-inspired songs in our studios. Frontman Nate Lacy also talks about the sudden progression of the band that he began as a one man bedroom recording act, including recording in Brock's home studio, and the &amp;quot;big picture&amp;quot; issues that inform many of his songs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mimicking Birds celebrate the release of their debut March 6th at the Mission Theater before supporting Black Prairie on dates later in the spring.&lt;/p&gt;
