Indeed, two of the tracks here, \"\u003cem\u003eYou Will Always Love Me\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eThere's Something Going On\u003c\/em\u003e,\" were recorded straight to four-track. Jones' voice echoes out of lyrical valleys. \"\u003cem\u003eTake Me Back\u003c\/em\u003e\" is a horrific tale of an obsessive relationship, with lyrics about eyeballs scratched with rusty nails and a creepy chant of \"dead, dead, dead\" ad infinitum. It's a conceit that starts with the very first track, \"\u003cem\u003eBad Old Man\u003c\/em\u003e,\" where Jones sings of wife-beaters and a drowning in a duck pond. Musically, the album is more of a lean toward the baroque than \u003cem\u003eUgly Beautiful\u003c\/em\u003e. One might describe it as stark, disturbed chamber pop. Beautiful melodies appear quite majestically out of Jones' psychological studies. \"\u003cem\u003eIt's Not Funny Anymore\u003c\/em\u003e\" is bittersweet and touching, with Jones reaching for the album's emotional core over weeping, organic keyboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThere's Something Going On\u003c\/em\u003e\" is the tender conclusion, suggesting that Jones knows there's a better way of life than obsession and self-torture. \u003cem\u003eThere's Something Going On\u003c\/em\u003e is definitely Baby Bird's most subtle album, and it's a fascinating listen from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere's Something Going On\u003c\/em\u003e is available as a limited numbered edition of 750 copies on turquoise coloured vinyl and contains an insert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUSIC ON VINYL","offers":[{"title":"Limited Numbered 180g Turquoise Coloured Vinyl LP","offer_id":59547866661209,"sku":"SDZ-53053","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Untitled-Design-3_259c375c-c22e-4bd0-a467-3d37ad8c8e6d.png?v=1790156859","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/babybird-theres-something-going-on","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
