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]

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.
