History Music / Birdeatsbaby

* WordSaladLyrics: Most of the album Here She Comes-a-Tumblin' was the result of a teenage Mishkin's insomnia-induced hallucinations and nightmares, resulting in some particularly [[MindScrew strange and terrifying imagery]] on more than one occassion.

Birdeatsbaby is a genre indefinable quartet formed in 2008 and based in Brighton. The dark and twisted quality of their music videos has gained them some degree of fame. Just like [[FollowTheLeader that other]] [[Music/{{AmandaPalmer}} dark cabaret band]], they present a lot of piano lead poptunes, supplemented with drums, guitar, and violin.
