Since 2018, Birds Of Tokyo have released four singles ('The Greatest Mistakes', 'Good Lord', 'Unbreakable' and Two Of Us'). Later this month, they'll bundle these with another seven songs when they release their newest album, 'Human Design', 24 April.
"These four singles we've released over the last 18 months have each been very personal and direct in different ways," frontman Ian Kenny explains."It's great that they seem to have struck deep chords with lots of people, but in the first instance I was just writing words to stop myself going nuts.
"Creating this music with the guys in the band was really a form of free therapy that's then played out later in public. So this album is really the culmination of that whole process."
Birds guitarist Adam Spark, who co-wrote the songs and produced them with long-time collaborator and mixer Scott Horscroft, reflects: "We knew we had some pretty special music pouring out of us, but we wanted to take our time to get it right and Kenny needed time to process a lot of stuff as we went along.
"On lots of our favourite old records all the songs really hang together for some reason or other so we all wanted to do that here."
