In the words of POISONOUS BIRDS' Tom Ridley: "'Warm Jets' was written with Gabriel Gifford, a Bristol-based producer and songwriter best known for his work with Harvey Causon.

Back in March a Facebook group called Isolation Tapes emerged, filled with friends and friends-of-friends from the Bristol music community. Gabe shared this with us: gabrielgifford.bandcamp.com, a bunch of sketches from the first few weeks of isolation. “Youthful Bother” caught my imagination - he’d recorded a little upright piano in his flat and a few tracks of cello, and the mood of the piece put me in this quiet, pensive mindset and the song pretty much poured out.

Where 'Mood Stabiliser' was an exploration of my past, this became a study of my present - not literally about my day-to-day living in a pandemic (which will no doubt be well-documented by others) - but rather as as man in my late twenties clinging to the some of the same hopes and fears and dreams that developed during childhood."

The new EP follows hot on the heels of POISONOUS BIRDS' collaborative EP with Sunflower, the solo project from Black Foxxes' Mark Holley. A stunning, yearning, emotive release, you can stream Low Tide and the Dying Sun here: http://links.poisonousbirds.com/lowtide.html

One of the more intriguing acts in the British rock scene currently, Bristol-based POISONOUS BIRDS are more than just a band.

The electronically-influenced group, in their own words, take more inspiration from the visual arts than music. Their live performances take the form of improvisational collages, more than scripted songs. Most songs contain well over 100 tracks, subtly sampling, re-sampling, modifying as they move forward.

The trio have already been championed by DIY Magazine, Kerrang! Radio, Bristol In Stereo, and more, and have supported The Physics House Band and Sleep Token, among others. Bearing comparison to a heavy Radiohead, Battles, SCALPING, 65daysofstatic and HEALTH, POISONOUS BIRDS' guitarless approach is as much electronic as rock-centred. 

Tom (vocals, songwriter, producer, electronics) has co-directed and scored a film for BBC Four, titled Elver; beyond this, he's designed sounds for Dyson and is co-writing, producing with ZAND.

POISONOUS BIRDS are:

Tom Ridley: vocals, electronics, producer
Finn Mclean: drums, synths
Jack Barrett: guitars (live)
