An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump EP

Launch party details

Fast rising London act An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump have confirmed details of a new EP.

Art and rock have gone together since The Velvet Underground first let out a feedback belch in front of Andy Warhol. Newcomers An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump have taken a more direct route than most – naming themselves after a famous Victorian painting.

Recalling the beautiful menace of that canvas, the band’s minimalist style has seen them embrace influences from soul to grunge. A series of gigs throughout the year have seen An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump take London by storm.

Formed just last year C-Bird, D-Bird and X-Bird are an all female line up who seem to be unconcerned with boundaries. Playing the drums standing up, the band continually swap instruments to dizzying effect.

Recently recording in Chicago with Steve Albini, the trio are set to launch the results on an unsuspecting public later this year. Continually subversive the band’s sparse yet delicate music belies a probing search for their own identity.

Titled ‘Buy A Life’ the new EP is due to be released on December 7th. To coincide with this An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump have organised a series of live dates including a quick trip to France.

Set to perform at the Trans Musicale Festival in Rennes, the band will then hop aboard the ferry to get to London in time for their EP launch. Taking place on December 10th support will come from twee poppers Veronica Falls.
