The first thing that hits you about BirdsEatBaby’s latest effort is just how much snappy and fierce electronica there is in just four straight minutes. Riffs and sparks fire out at you like there is no tomorrow, all wrapped in one Very Big Production.
There is some tasteful experimentation going on here, with the aforementioned electronica but what gives the song real heart and muscle is the effort put into it. Every ounce of it pulsates with meaning.
It has all the elements of a very good drama – suspense, a good, beating rhythm and the hints of the unexpected. It keeps your ears pricked up and your feet moving right throughout its duration. And it should sound great live.
