Nick Drake may have sold his dead soul to a Volkswagen, but his terrestrial spirit still wafts through many a folk-dirge guitar riff, and this warbly, bird-click guitar song is certainly haunted. When the half-buried vocals and synth arches roll over, it's like wind from the American west clearing out the English fog. It's also called “Jeremy Irons Couple Skate,” so visualize that one.
Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk, “Jeremy Irons Couple Skate”
Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk just recorded the jam in their “aunt's basement in Oregon” and threw it on their blog. Download it here, or there. It's for an upcoming cassette release called Skeletor & Me, and is acting as an unofficial launch for a few weeks of inspired spontaneity.
Preemptive [sic]:
We're doing a 4 week stay in Seattle starting now, gonna record and play last minute shows around the northwest, and then travel home in late feb playing more last minute shows along the west coast/south west.
So if you live anywhere but Brooklyn, look out for them, they may be playing in your local book store or recording a minor masterpiece in your dive bar as you sit reading this.
