I've been a Shitbirds for a long time, but that was all based on the posthumous Famous Recording Artists CD, which was a collection of singles. It didn't occur to me to actually collect the singles until later, so I had never heard (or heard of) Simon & The Barr Sinister until the Discogs era. I still couldn't tell you anything about them. They do a couple of surfg songs here, but I don't know if that's indicative of their entire catalog.
If you don't know, the Shitbirds were one of the poppier bands on Sympathy, led by Elinor Blake, who French psyche pop fans, Ren & Stimpy nerds, and QT/Deathproof fans would know better as April March. Suffice to say they ruled and you should get everything they put out. Ironically enough, after putting all of that out there, the songs here are instrumentals, and though Blake is credited as April Shitbird on vocals, there are no vocals.
