Product Description
I Fly is the debut EP of Brooklyn's avant-pop quintet Birdbrain. I Fly features the catchy compositions and inspired tunes of Yvette Perez. Doe-eyed chanteuse Yvette warbles infectious melodies backed by minimalist brass and reed arrangements. Birdbrain’s songs include strange tales of plants, factories and freeways ("Heat," "Confection of Sound"), accounts of sea life ("Sea Cow") and an ode to an Iranian living in the Paris airport ("Mehran"). In Birdbrain, Yvette enlists the finest horn players in New York City. Trombonist Peter Zummo has played with everyone from dance music innovator Arthur Russell to Teo Macero and composer "Blue" Gene Tyranny, while sax men Tim Noe and Don Trubey have played with reeds great Daniel Carter in the North Brooklyn Sound Collective and are former members of the Bloomington, Indiana’s legendary Dancing Cigarettes. Inspired by The Incredible String Band, car horns, Yoko Ono and birdsongs, Birdbrain resonates and dissonates an ecstatic racket. Birdbrain resides between pop and jazz and someplace not yet mapped…
