Alt-rock trio Hellbirds showcases a springy mood in their newest album, 12 Songs on Film, a cheerful record that swings between classic ’90s, radio friendly alt-rock (we hear Cake here and there) and elegant pop a la’ Elvis Costello. As suggested by its title, the record is accompanied by a "full length album video" (streaming below), an interesting concept realized through the good ol’ green-screen trick. The idea is to visualize all the overdubs that went into the recordings through over-imposed images of the musicians while they are playing each part in the track. The trio will be bringing their fun tunes to Bowery Electric 08.08 – will they multiply on stage? –Tafari Lemma
