Mixerr Album Reviews #317

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the Dertybird EP. Dertybird is a rock band from the ATX. Austin, Texas that is. This EP was released on CD in 2007.

The front cover is ostrich wearing a Derby hat in a Victorian/Edwardian style formal dress suit for the daytime. The ostrich is a linen English style overcoat walking with a cane. The ostrich is probably on a day stroll enjoying the posh fine weather. Not with a mate of course. The back reminds of the 90s and 2000s Sub Pop early artwork style.

There are only 3 songs which makes this an EP of course. The duration of the tracks are the average of any early grunge demo tracks were in the 80s. What I mean is that the average duration of the tracks on here are 2 to 3 minutes long at that. The three tracks on this single are She Likes It, Here, and Edna with Edna being the shortest track of the three.

Edna is a rather short love ballad about a woman or girl named Edna. This is an intense love ballad. Not to mention that the vocals are intense too. I never knew that a song such as this composition would be so intense. Clayton is very clear with his vocals.

I rate this EP, Dertybird, 4/5****.
