Last time I listened to Driftless Pony Club's Expert, a line in "Maps of Low Fidelity" sounded sort of familiar to me: "Streets and signs have abandoned their roles."
While it doesn't bear much resemblance lyrically, the same sort of idea is in the Byrds' "Eight Miles High" - "Signs in the street that say where you’re going / Are somewhere just being their own."
However, I don't know if this similarity was intentional. There really isn't anything else in "Maps of Low Fidelity" - lyrically or musically - that would indicate any influence by the Byrds. The first line is "You swallow birds," but if anything, that's a very tenuous connection, so I think the mention of birds (and the part about street signs) is just coincidental.
