Fascinating and eclectic storytelling by this Brooklyn indie-pop band, Tallbird. This new single, Battery is an electric new track featuring subtle, innocent melody that creates some nice hooks in the chorus. The instrumentation is really interesting, featuring a quilt of sounds that come from samples of horns, and looping through lof-fi kits. I like the pairing with more of the 90s indie-pop sounds like The Cure meets REM… meets a little DJ Shadow… seems about right.
The song itself is a track about a wild/inelegant friend who you love despite the awkwardness they present when out in public. It’s so real, come on, we’ve all got those friends.
Tallbird is Erica Marchetta-Wood (vocals) and Danny Sullivan (production)
They will be releasing their debut full-length Lost Pet Poster Template on September 25th.
