Claude Von Stroke, Bird Brain

In certain circles of electronic music fans, references to the Bird Man of Alcatraz are more likely to be about one Barclay Crenshaw than Robert Stroud. The man most famous for the title "Who's Afraid of Detroit" under the alias Claude Von Stroke has made San Francisco his home with the launch of the Dirtybird record label. This week’s release of the full length Bird Brain is his CVS's first studio album since 2006’s Beware of the Bird. The new album's 10 original tracks are unmistakable as Von Stroke productions—there’s a certain sound he generates on all his tracks that stands out as his signature. To see how it’s done, check the video below.

Claude Von Stroke is one of my all time favorites. The new album is even better than his first, although it's hard to top Who's Afraid Of Detroit as a single. Everyone should check out this album!
