In terms of artists have reduced me to “stock image model desperate for a paycheck” levels of emotion (for reference) while wearing angel wings, adult diapers, and a skin-tight Slenderman costume, my list is woefully short.
Luckily, the newly minted Request Freebird (formerly ACLU Benefit) is a big enough personality in the Boston scene to monopolize this potential niche genre, offering his first EP today under the name.
Sorry, I Don’t Know That One was initially rolled out in January as a two song teaser, but according to Freebird, may continue expanding on it after releasing it today as a five song EP. For fans of ACLU Benefit, Freebird serves as a continuation rather than a new beginning, still showcasing that distinct baritone and hushed, acoustic missives on existence and beer.
