Strange Bird is the second studio album by the Australian indie rock band Augie March. It was first released on October 14, 2002[1] in Australia by BMG and was re-released in the United States on September 14, 2004 by spinART[2].

Strange Bird followed up from the success of the band's moderately successful first album, Sunset Studies, which was voted as one of the best albums of 2000 by listeners of national Australian radio network Triple J[3]. Strange Bird was quite a departure for the band, replacing the often mellow melodies of the first album with a more expansive, direct sound.

[edit] Reception

The artist was acclaimed upon release by critics[citation needed].

Triple J listeners voted "This Train Will Be Taking No Passengers" to number #66 in the 2002 Triple J Hottest 100 poll[4].
