Exploring Birdsong may be releasing their debut album in June, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t space for another fun little project in the build-up.

The band have shared a new three-track EP titled ‘Live From The Cottage’, a live stripped-back affair featuring new versions of the upcoming album’s first three singles.

Taking every song apart and rebuilding with piano and keys at the forefront, the result is sensational. A sign of just how strong the songwriting at the band’s core is, whilst adding different inflexions of emotion and energy than what has previously been shown, it’s a chilled-out yet striking 11 minutes of musical exploration. A brilliant little project and one that one-ups the ante as we approach the release of ‘Every House We Built’.

Vocalist Lynsey Ward had this to say about the project, stating, “Deconstructing the first three singles from Every House We Built for this live session has been a fun challenge for us! We’ve spent hours on the details whilst producing the studio versions with Connor Sweeney, so we hope that taking them all the way back to basics will truly connect listeners with the messaging behind these songs. We are so proud of Every House We Built, and we are excited to show Romanticise, 42, and You Like It Best When It Hurts in a new light.”

‘Every House We Built’ is set for release on June 26 via Long Branch Records. The band will be heading out on the road for a string of headline shows later this year. Here’s where you will be able to catch them.
