Snappy Little Numbers (2022)
A few weeks ago I wrote about volume one in the Nervous Birds double cassette epic from the band known as Night Court. That one came out in December and this second tape was just released in May. I tried to get this one written about a bit more timely than the last one. But I'm just one guy with two ears and can only consume so much music at a time (which seems to be getting harder and harder each year that I continue to age).
Nervous Birds Too isn't really any different from Nervous Birds One. And I am one hundred percent, completely fine with that. In fact, I applaud it, because this is exactly the sort of thing I want to hear more and more of. Tight, catchy songs with someone rough, lower fidelity production. It captures all of the energy of the songs but never sacrifices the insane amount of hooks.
Last time I mentioned that this is a group that's straddling catchy garage rock like So Cow or Wavves, but is also putting in a Pavement-y indie rock perspective and I stand by that statement for this tape as well. This is great stuff, so great that I will now insert my annoying comment that I wish these had also been released on vinyl. Tapes, you know?
