Birds Of Pandemonium

***Across the cosmic boundaries via spiritual exploration and in the void between shimmer and shadow you will find the astral soundscapes of Birds Of Pandæmonium.

Emerging from Brooklyn’s late-night music ecosystem, ‘Hazy James’ Armstrong and Tim Wagner met nearly 20 years ago through the city’s DJ and club scene. Each with different but complementary musical backgrounds which included a mix of folk, guitar, DJing, synths, drum machines, country rock, disco, jazz, and rhythm-heavy club music (being just a few!), the duo began various musical endeavours together & “exploring the darkness while pursuing light” which eventually lead to the birth of Birds Of Pandæmonium.

It was only a matter of time that the stars aligned (via an introduction from Shane Watson of Causeway) to bring the Birds onto the musical radar at Sprechen which led to the release of 3 renowned EPs and ultimately, their debut album, Eudæmonia. Obscure covers including Idris Muhammed’s Loft classic ‘Could Heaven Ever Be Like This’, the rave defining Born Slippy by Underworld and the post punk/new wave ‘On Islands’ by New Musik sit alongside original songs shaped by fresh reflections on life, grief, and love with elements of dream pop, shoegaze & gothic pop to give wistful and pulse-driven listening experience that is hazy, romantic, and deliberately genre-blurring.

A truly unique listening experience that delivers broad strokes of sunsetting psychedelia and bleary-eyed optimistic, astral dream-pop across all 8 tracks.

Is it balearic? Not really, it’s pretty much a genre all on its own (answers on a postcard).

Limited vinyl release comes with a screen printed sleeve featuring design by Tom Bevan with individual artwork printed inserts.
