Check out the video for our latest song 'Birthday' - it's probably not what you are expecting...

I think I'm with you for writing, it often feels like the most purely creative part of the process and no two songs seem to come together in exactly the same way. Least favorite is definitely promo! It always feels like a bit of a compromise. I wish I could be more creative with it!

Ahhh yes, good one! Nothing says 'made in 2007' like a pitch shifted soul sample! On reflection this is one of Kanye West's more forgivable transgressions! 🤭

Ahhh yes! These are good ones! I know what you mean, I think they are trying to go for sincerity but it just comes across like a hernia 🤣

🎶 What’s your musical ick? 🎶

It could be a genre, a lyrical theme, a particular instrument maybe? I feel like we all have one.

Air horn samples? Clumsy rhymes? Fade outs? Too much auto tune?

What gets you desperately scrambling for the skip button?

Thank you ❤️ this is one of my absolute favorites!

Thank you so much! 🙏🏿 We wrote this about a year ago but it's one of those projects that we just can't seem to finish! It's great to receive some encouragement though, really appreciate it. We're determined to get it released now!

Xybird @xybird.bsky.social · 20d

Honestly, we don't have much to compare it to but London is amazing for live music! There's so many great venues here, you will love it! Something for everyone!

Beautiful! How do the tone controls work? That's a lot of knobs for one pickup!

Ahh you are too kind! That is such a great motivator to get some songs finished and released. You have made our day!

Thank you! That is definitely the incentive we need to get it finished! Ah yes, the ngoni! It's a little like a kora, but a bit less complicated. The sound is somewhere between an acoustic guitar and a harp. I'm still learning the basics!
