Part jingle-jangle, part old-fashioned Southern rock, Futurebirds have been collecting praise all over the place for their debut, “Hampton’s Lullaby” (out now on Autumn Tone). Full of pedal-steel swerves and comforting harmonies, the album delivers dreamy melodies that come closer with every listen. Four of the six members are multi-instrumentalists as well as vocalists within the band, giving every song a fresh voice while maintaining the same sense of humor and a tangible feeling of camaraderie – which carries over to the Athens, Ga., sextet’s live shows.
