Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing their reign as mainstays of the Pacific Northwest underground, the Seattle outfit delivers a typically infectious batch of quirky guitar pop. Produced largely by Butch Vig, 'Electric Bird Digest' infuses their playful, melodic power pop framework with the slightly heavier, distorted tones of the early 90s alternative boom.
