Release Date Friday 13th November 2026

There's Something Going On is the second studio album by Babybird, it was
released in 1998.The album is almost unrelentingly dark and mysterious, in
much the same manner as his earlier lo-fi productions

Indeed, two of the tracks here, "You Will Always Love Me" and "There's Something
Going On," were recorded straight to four- track. Jones' voice echoes out of lyrical
valleys. "Take Me Back" is a horrific tale of an obsessive relationship, with lyrics about
eyeballs scratched with rusty nails and a creepy chant of "dead, dead, dead" ad
infinitum. It's a conceit that starts with the very first track, "Bad Old Man," where Jones
sings of wife-beaters and a drowning in a duck pond. Musically, the album is more of
a lean toward the baroque than Ugly Beautiful. One might describe it as stark,
disturbed chamber pop. Beautiful melodies appear quite majestically out of Jones'
psychological studies. "It's Not Funny Anymore" is bittersweet and touching, with
Jones reaching for the album's emotional core over weeping, organic keyboards.
"There's Something Going On" is the tender conclusion, suggesting that Jones knows
there's a better way of life than obsession and self-torture. There's Something Going
On is definitely Baby Bird's most subtle album, and it's a fascinating listen from start
to finish.
