Birdbrain | Anniversary Edition : 30th Mint Green

Beggars Arkive announce a limited edition 30-year Anniversary edition of Buffalo Tom’s epic second album ‘Birdbrain’. Available on mint green vinyl, the album has been out of print for years. Buffalo Tom (Bill Janovitz, Chris Colbourn and Tom Maginnis) formed at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1984. Their friendship with J. Mascis helped the band’s career take off by assisting with the production on the band’s first two albums; their self-titled debut and ‘Birdbrain’. Initially offering a raw, propulsive sound that emphasized Janovitz’s imposing guitar squall on such early releases as 1989’s ‘Buffalo Tom’ and 1990’s ‘Birdbrain’, Buffalo Tom’s early approach gave way to a more melodic, yet no less distinctive, style on 1992’s ‘Let Me Come Over’ (including the hit ballad ‘Taillights Fade’), 1993’s ‘Big Red Letter Day’ (including the hit ‘Soda Jerk’) and 1995’s ‘Sleepy Eyed’.
