And then it rained for seven days is the debut album by Irish group Music for Dead Birds, released by Rusted Rail in April 2009.[1]
Released on the Mini CD single format, The album was self produced by the band and was mainly recorded using a 4-track tape deck. General reception of the album from critics was good;[2] however, it was criticized for its lo-fi quality.[3] The album currently has a 1.84 rating on Rate Your Music.[4] Writing for Galway Advertiser, Arts journalist Kernan Andrews wrote; "And Then It Rained For Seven Days is a strong opening statement from the band, and reveals some different sides to their sound. On stage they have a strongly 1960s folk-pop style, but the new mini-album plays much more like edgy indie/alternative acoustic rock, with some experimental flashes."[1]
