BIRD- PHANTOMS EP – JACK TO PHONO RECORDS
RELEASED VIA KUDOS DISTRIBUTION 31/10/11
Bird are a Liverpool based 5 piece fronted by 22 year old mystical songstress Adele Emmas. Tales of nostalgia and other worldly beings are the order of the day. The lyrics touch upon matter as varied as celestial bodies, storms, the moon and haunting trips down memory lane. Set to a backdrop of melodious guitars, sweeping violins and subtle percussion, delicately woven together to create the enchanted, magical space Bird inhabit.
The band formed at the start of 2011 and instantly bonded over their shared love of artists like Kate Bush, The Cocteau Twins, Leonard Cohen and PJ Harvey. Within the first month of playing together the songs on this EP had already taken shape.
Their debut "Phantoms EP" has been eagerly anticipated by their ever growing ardent fan base. The release date of 31/10/11 was something the band earmarked early on.
"We knew we wanted to put Phantoms out as our first release from day one, it’s already become our signature track live. We decided when we first recorded it that the lyrics and mood of the track leant itself perfectly to a Halloween release."
The EP released on London based "Jack to Phono Records" features four songs. The eerie, almost medieval lead track "Phantoms" "Hey Hey Moonshine" "Tides" and "The Witch-Hunter" complete this first record. The download package contains an exclusive remix of Phantoms by Tom Eno and the film-noire style video for Phantoms, a beautiful pictorial companion to the song.
"This EP is a snap shot of the band, an introduction to Bird. We picked four songs that worked together but could also individually stand up on their own. I believe music has the power to connect with people on so many levels, one thing I am sure of is we will never "fill out" EPs or albums with songs that don’t attempt to touch the listener"
Bird have been busy honing their craft on their native Liverpool scene over the past 9 months. The gestation period is over and the band are ready to deliver their offerings to the wider world. Dates throughout the UK are planned. Here is what “they” are saying about Bird....
“The bustling audience fell silent and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who's hairs were standing up on the back of their necks. It's different yet brilliant. In particular, check out Phantoms, the track will leave you emotionally tongue tied " (Elite Magazine)
“This is one of the finest half-dozen bands I’ve discovered this year.” (Dandelion Radio)
