Combining meticulously produced psych, synth-funk, Americana, aching electro, and unveiling more surprises upon closer listen SF’s Birds & Batteries return with their latest: the spooky, funky Up To No Good EP out now on Eightmaps. Stacked with addicting aching-electro/boogie jams the EP manages to convey a degree of mystery/magic amidst post-modern wreckage, combining the fun of late 70’s freak funk with a detached, studio cool of 80’s r&b.
You can stream the entire EP for FREE all week long at AOL Spinner.
