Birdbrain is the second album by American alternative rock band Buffalo Tom, released in 1990.

[1][5] J Mascis again assisted with production, alongside Sean Slade.

Buffalo Tom singer/guitarist Bill Janovitz said that Mascis's influence probably accented the band's edgier side.

[6] Mascis is credited as "Monte Rose" for a guitar solo on the title track.

[7] The CD version includes a cover of the Psychedelic Furs' "Heaven," as well as a live acoustic version of "Reason Why," a song from Buffalo Tom's self-titled debut album.
