BIRDS
Bio:
BIRDS is one of those bands that is nearly impossible to Google. No combination of “birds,” “birds+band,” “birds+band+brooklyn” yields any conclusive result. But once you spot such mysterious BIRDS in the wild, the warmth of their swirling, chugging psych-rock counteracts the brief technological struggle. Led by Duane Lauginiger, the Brooklyn-based band released its debut album, Eveything All At Once, via Greenway Records. The lead single, “Scatter,” rumbles for less than three minutes, but manages to melt faces like Greenway’s logo melts wax. The thundering bass keeps everyone in line, while some effects-laden riff that sounds like a distorted electric violin sweeps overhead in between verses. It’s a perfect slice of beefy fuzz-pedal magic that sounds sloppy but is actually tight and precise.
