UK alt-pop trio Exploring Birdsong reveal new single ‘Stitch’

A beautifully curious blend of pop-sensibility, delicacy and experimentation. Piano led, guitar-less trio Exploring Birdsong are paving their own musical path with their latest single Stitch.

“Stitch was a song that came together really quickly for us,” comment Exploring Birdsong. “In a moment of borderline crazed inspiration, a lot of the key elements for Stitch have existed more or less since the very first demo. We’re always keen to try new things and pull influence from lots of obscure places- this one unapologetically referencing the Davy Jones organ scene from Pirates of the Caribbean (IYKYK). The song itself is essentially about teamwork in a relationship, trying to feel strong in the face of adversity because someone you have helped to carry in the past is now carrying you. Despite Stitch being a return to heavy Birdsong, we wanted the message to be a fairly sweet one.”

Rarely are new groups as exciting, talented or unique as Exploring Birdsong. Straddling pop, rock and uncategorisable genre-blending beauty, the band are unplaceable for the most part, but bring to mind elements of London Grammar, Kate Bush and Everything Everything.

Rarely too do you hear voices as captivating as frontwoman Lynsey Ward’s. Powerful, controlled, and spine-chillingly tender, Lynsey’s vocals help mark Exploring Birdsong as a prospect to watch, from the release of their acclaimed debut The Thing With Feathers (2019, Long Branch Records) to 2023’s EP Dancing in the Face of Danger. 

Exploring Birdsong caught the eyes of key players in the press (Kerrang! Magazine, Prog Magazine, Classic Rock Magazine) and achieved two Progressive Music Awards nominations. The young group most recently joined Katatonia as special guest following successful support tours with the likes of Sleep Token and Thank You Scientist.

Line Up:
Lynsey Ward – Vocals, piano
Jonny Knight –  Bass guitar, synthesizer
Matt Harrison – Drums, percussion
