"Polluto"
Our old friend, Adam Bird, used to front Montclair alt-rock band, Those Mockingbirds. After dissolving that project in February of 2016, Bird set out to pursue some sounds and influences that took him down a different path than the neo-Gothic (not "Goth") rock leanings of his former band. Now making music under the moniker of A Bird, Adam has allowed a few electronic flourishes to creep into his sound; and, late last week, we heard the first product of those efforts in the form of single "Polluto."
Bird headed up to New Hampshire and recorded "Polluto" with producer Dean Baltulonis (The Hold Steady). The song swerves between straight-up rock and something a little more proggy with Bird declaring -- appropriately -- "I don't care. I'm never giving up. Starting over is still starting somewhere."
Of the song, Bird says, "The lyrics to ‘Polluto’ are about the feeling that everyone around you is judging you, the insecurity that it turns out many people have... ...I wanted to write this song as my own personal anthem of reminding myself to stop worrying about everyone else's opinions to the detriment of my own."
"Polluto" is available now at your favorite spot for acquiring musical bits and bytes.
You can catch A Bird live on 6/21 at Jersey City's Groove on Grove and on 7/18 at Hansil's in Oakland, NJ.
