Tallbird - Lost Pet Poster Template (2020)

Brooklyn-based Indie pop duo Tallbird (mem UV Rays) announce their new album, Lost Pet Poster Template, due out September 25 and share the lead single, ‘Battery.’ Built around horn samples and lo-fi drum loops, ‘Battery’ showcases Tallbird’s playful, upbeat style of music, mixing and matching samples to create a colorful collage of sounds.

The songs on Lost Pet Poster Template were inspired by the album title - a lost pet is extremely sad, but there’s something darkly funny about the idea of picking out the right template for the situation. There’s sadness throughout this album, but it’s filtered through lyrics that focus on specific details and Erica Marchetta-Wood’s bright vocal performances, and the end result is playful and upbeat.

Eclectic but true to form, Tallbird’s songs are colorful collages of chopped-up samples, floating vocals, and choice instrumentation. The pair’s influence is equally attributable to bright indie rock (early REM, The Cure, and Alvvays) and sample-based hip-hop (Madlib, RZA, DJ Shadow).
