Snowbird are the duo of singer/songwriter Stephanie Dosen and Cocteau Twins' Simon Raymonde, and their debut album moon is out in January via Raymonde's label Bella Union. The album features contributions from Radiohead's Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway, Midlake's Eric Pulido and McKenzie Smith, Lanterns on the Lake's Paul Gregory, and Jonathan Wilson.
