Comment: Simon himself sent me this album and he did it f..king rightly indeed. He is a young composer from Dublin, Ireland who makes an astonishing sound comprising the elements of solemn-angled shoegaze, sober post-psychedelic electronica, DIY-ish "wastelands" and "junkyards" backed up with the "disaffected" rhythms of big beat and downtempo. You could call it urban tribalism if you wish. While you can see the traces drawn upon the likes of Fuck Buttons, M83, and Seefeel, yet, his sound seems to be even more variable thus being more powerful and sympathetic (except Seefeel). Unlike M83 Bird`s sound is not heavily soaked in sugar or so monotonously running regarding vis-à-vis with Fuck Buttons. His project can also be compared with Superficial Random Knowledge Porridge, a mesmerizing Sankt Peterburg, Russia-based duo. However, for instance, listen to Bird`s track Baphomet Vs. The Great Winged Horse II and you can probably see the dubliner does have a huge potential to be discovered and approved. A great output of 5 tracks for sure.
