About This Event

Exploring Birdsong are stepping into a new era with their stunning new single ‘Romanticise’. The alt-pop trio, centred on Lynsey Ward’s stunning vocals, showcase a richer and more expansive element with their newest effort – a mature evolution from the organic rawness of their piano-led roots. Despite the shift in sound first signalled with the acclaimed 2024 singles The Collapse, Weight in Gold, All I Lack, and Stitch, the three-piece haven’t sacrificed any of the emotional intimacy or genre-blending beauty that sets them apart. The voice of Lynsey Ward (also of Espera), mixed with the talents of Jonny Knight (bass & keyboards) and Matt Harrison (drums) help forge a truly unique approach to songwriting and modern heavy music. Catching the ears of fans worldwide, Exploring Birdsong will perform two headline shows at London’s famed St Pancras Old Church on November 5th and 6th – gigs which sold out in a matter of minutes. The dates follow the trio’s two 2024 headline showcases in Manchester and London, also both sold out. Previously the band have supported Katatonia and Sleep Token as well as a main stage appearance at RADAR and Euroblast festival. Straddling pop, progressive rock and uncategorisable genre-blending beauty, the band are mostly unplaceable, but Romanticise suggests flashes of Everything Everything’s inventiveness, the dramatic flair of Kate Bush, and the synth-heavy intensity of Enter Shikari – whilst remaining uniquely Exploring Birdsong.
