Bio
Western Australia’s Warning Birds have emerged with the first sounds from their forthcoming second EP, mixed by Grammy Award-winning US engineer, Trina Shoemaker (Queens of the Stone Age). The collaboration has worked to define the boldening direction of the band, proven in the compelling pop of first single, ‘Horrors’. ‘Horrors’ evokes the experimental, concept-driven music of the band’s influences; up-tempo, rhythmic melancholia in the vein of Talking Heads, and strongly atmospheric and melodic in a way that recalls Tears for Fears.
Review
The output from Warning Birds continues to impress. Sam Carmody's a great songwriter and vocalist but this one sees the whole band shining.
