With The Birthday Suit’s third album A Hollow Hole Of Riches on the way in 2014, “A Bigger World” feels like their statement of intent. Headed by Rod Jones of Idlewild, they’ve now got two albums under their belt and a smattering of singles that ranged from the spiky, riff fueled Idlewild days to more sing along indie romps. They’ve refined their sound and now music fans and Idlewilders are really starting to take notice.
The track features Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit whom you can see projected onto the wall in the background of the video. Scott provided some vocals and the riff you hear at the end of the single. It’s a very simple video with the band playing energetically as the song crescendos to a glorious end.
This is really exciting stuff from The Birthday Suit and they are starting to look and feel less like “Rod Jones’ solo project” and much more like a band. Roll on 2014 and the third album!
