Birdbrain (album)

Birdbrain is the second album by American alternative rock band Buffalo Tom, released in 1990.[1][5] J Mascis again assisted with production, alongside Sean Slade. Buffalo Tom singer/guitarist Bill Janovitz said that Mascis's influence probably accented the band's edgier side.[6]
