Tweak Bird - Reservations Album Review
Tweak Bird - Reservations
Seven Song LP: September 9, 2008
Review by Crissy Van Meter
Brother duo Caleb and Ashton Bird, better known as Tweak Bird, team up for their sophomore album, Reservations. A unique sound and funky style makes them a force to reckon with. Their first album offered an amazing voice and some very interesting sounds that were hard and grungy. Add some dark sounds to some mesmerizing drum solos and you get Tweak Bird at its finest. The two-man team has a knack for new sound and innovative lyrics. These are two guys that are musically inclined to tell a story, with a lot of drum and some hearty guitar.
Reservations is a reminder that Tweak Bird is doing something very unique. The combo of their high-pitched voices (which sometimes sound like they are even mocking themselves) makes for a great song. In "Spaceships," the Bird brothers link dazzling sounds together to make a story- one that sounds like it is being told around an Indian drum circle. "Spaceships" has a different sound from their first album, a delightful change with a slower tempo and sense of longevity in their music. "Whorses" gets your heart pumping with the fast guitar and heavy sounds. Not so surprising the song is about aliens and Indians; the guys are able to create an eerie sound with some sometimes-creepy lyrics. A dreadful delight made from two hairy guys with a talent for moving music ahead...pretty dreamy. This is a band that can surely be a live show favorite.
