Silence Daedalus

From the homogenous grey fizz of cloud hanging over deepest Lancashire springs this up-lifting, mad-cowbell infused self-unconscious and nostalgic record from Chorley’s British Birds; 12 songs of journeying through melancholy guided by sweet or shriek harmonies, disco bass, thumping drums and Bobby’s signature loping guitar and swoopy, off-kilter vocals: at times deeply intimate and at others theatrically dizzying with psych. Silence Daedalus is self-released by these staunchly DIY low-key ornithologists.
