Who hates us



SOLID AIR:

"I so wanted to like Birdeatsbaby, because I'm a huge fan of musicals, klezmer, burlesque/cabaret, etc, but I found myself struggling with every track on myspace - mostly with the vocals, as they sounded to me like a group of spurned Sunday school teachers exacting their musical revenge; joyless, devoid of warmth, often shrill - ie, all the annoying aspects of Wuthering Heights without any of the mad sensuality. For me, music like this needs to be a lot earthier - I'm afraid this all sounds a bit po-faced dour to my ears."
