LES BIG BYRD
THEY WORSHIPPED CATS (A RECORDINGS)
Available on Tri Colour 180 gram vinyl! LES BIG BYRD was formed in Stockholm by Joakim Åhlund (CAESARS, TEDDYBEARS) and Frans Johansson (FIRESIDE) a couple of years ago.
They recruited Jocke's former bandmate, drummer Nino Keller and keyboardist Konie and started jamming and rehearsing.
February 2014 saw the band release their "Back To Bagarmossen" EP on London/Stockholm indie label PNKSLM Recordings.
The 10" vinyl received huge praise both internationally and at home, even picking up mainstream TV coverage on Sweden's TV4.
Following the EP, LES BIG BYRD are now preparing to unleash their debut full length release, "They Worshipped Cats", on Anton Newcombe's A Records.
Anton has co-written & plays 2 tracks on the album and LES BIG BYRD are supporting THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE on their European tour.
When Anton recently visited Stockholm with his band THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE, the guys accidentally ran into each other at a local record shop, and started talking about music.
Anton invited the band down to his studio in Berlin to record and jam for a few days and it was there that a big part of "They Worshipped Cats" was conceived and recorded.
The album is filled with beautifully melancholic melodies, poems of time-space continuum read through vocoders, cosmic clouds of filtered stringmachines, motorik krautrock drums, 12-string.
