Vitamins is the third studio album by Irish anti-folk band Music for Dead Birds.[1]
The album was recorded in one weekend at Data Studios, County Kerry, with recording engineer Tadgh Healy.[2] The album was released on 17 April 2014 as both a Pay what you want digital download and a limited edition CD run of 100 copies.[3] Lead track The Farmer's Corn was broadcast by 2fm in Ireland[4] and 2SER in Australia.[5] A music video was produced for the track Magic Witch which received national media attention for its dark content.[6]
Writing for Ptolemaic Terrascope, Simon Lewis said that "The sudden stop/starts, so beloved of Seattle residents, do sometimes get a little wearing, but it's never less than intriguing listening, and the good songs have their own chutzpah." In a review for GoldenPlec, Danny Kilmartin opined "“Vitamins” does have its moments. Its major flaw, however, is its inconsistency and lack of cohesion."
All songs written by Jimmy Monaghan.
