Few people in our life are as controversial as our own parents. Often judged hastily by us as soon as we are old enough to have an opinion, they have time on their side to prove us that – at least – there was more to them (a lot more) than what we originally thought. The end of their time is always a non-welcome opportunity to try and make sense of conflicts, memories and mistakes that shaped our life in often overwhelming ways. These issues are tackled in the new single ‘Dad’ by Brooklyn electric folk quintet Bird of Youth. The song was written after the passing of frontwoman Beth Wawerna’s father. Their five-years-in-the making sophomore album, entitled ‘Get Off,’ will be released on May 17th with a party at Union Pool. The band has also announced a tour in support of Nada Surf.
