Buffalo Tom - Bird Brain - Limited Colour Vinyl LP

Buffalo Tom’s sophmore album “Birdbrain” is a more melodic work than previous releases but no less distinctive. With a raging, fuzzy and deafeningly loud guitar attack, the Boston band gained the affectionate nickname Dinosaur Jr Jr in the late '80s. That may also have happened because J. Mascis produced Buffalo Tom's first two albums. 

While there was a definite sonic similarity to Dino Jr's ragged squall, Buffalo Tom also hit from the heart, with frontman Bill Janovitz writing deeply affecting songs like "Skeleton Key," "Fortune Teller" and "Enemy.” This beautiful mold of melody and noise, this indie guitar trio is a musical force to be reckoned with.
