In the words of POISONOUS BIRDS' Tom Ridley: 

"This record is a collection of small vignettes, each exploring an idea that's been tumbling around in my brain during 2020, and sonically finding uncharted ground between rock music and electronics. The title track was inspired by a podcast featuring Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), but has since gained new poignancy in light of the renewed energy behind Black Lives Matter in recent weeks. We can never not be all of us."

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)
