Never easy to categorize, Birds and Batteries continue to cut their own path of genre-less music. Previously revered by some as alt-country garage, fuzzy synth psych, or electronic pop Birds & Batteries again find themselves in new territory with their latest EP, Up To No Good, which songwriter, Mike Sempert describes as "a spooky-funky adventure". Heavily influenced by Bowie's Scary Monsters, P-Funk and John Carpenter films, 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. And all just in time for Halloween (cue Vincent Price).
