“Dirty Crusty” is the new single from London-based singer/songwriter The Birthday Letters, previously impressing with the XTC-esque track “Lesser Evil.” The 50-second mark brings forth a bouncy bass alongside perky percussion, with the dreamy vocal presence carrying from there. Added guitar jangles around 01:30 coincide with added vocal emotion, leading toward a satiating conclusion. “Dirty Crusty” continues the charming, heartfelt songwriting of The Birthday Letters. Their forthcoming album, out later this year, is certainly one I’ll be anticipating.
