Blynd Birds

Soft guitar lines frothing into a slow boil of raucous distortion and torrential riffs becomes a fitting kick-start to Blynd Birds' Find Your Conscience, Baby.

The local quartet brandishes the same ferocity found on its 2015 debut Sure for Certain.

While single "Vice Veins" gleans an unexpected pop sensibility, the rest of the sophomore effort covers familiar territory. "Not Gonna Stop" broods percussive with extra helpings of prodding basslines, the subdued "Already Spent" warbles dust devil fuzz and distorted chord slabs, and blues-tinged "Black Flower" simmers Texas summer heat. Gentle tremolo plumes give way to jagged riffs and erratic fretwork on "Thirty-Five," and loose-cannoned "Cardigan" pummels raw-boned instrumentation and heavy kit work.

Find Your Conscience, Baby sticks to the guns of Blynd Birds' debut, and as such, it never misses a step. (3 & 1/2 STARS) - Austin Chronicle

Blynd Birds – “Vice Veins”

-To drive home the theme of this playlist, check out the punctuated drums on this jam. It’s got a killer beat and some good vocals to boot. The track reflects a sound that we often look for but rarely find; it’s familiar enough to fit with the rock genre but has experimental elements to make it stand out. What a great song!

Share this one with your best friend and worst enemy, but don’t them which one is which. - Ear To The Ground

Blynd Birds has recorded a mixed set of tracks that will hits in more than one spot. The diversity of genres in their 4-track release is perfect for the restless listener. It's all there; styles including blues, indie, folk, garage, and punk rock. On their bandcamp, they ask that listeners "excuse the quality," but I think the lo-fi fuzz only adds to their edge.
