ROCK
While most bands these days tend to wait a couple of years in-between albums, Birds Of Tokyo’s methodology is more in keeping with the greats of rock’n'roll than keeping up with the Joneses. So, less than 18-months after their stunning independent debut, ‘Day One’, Birds Of Tokyo are about to present ‘Universes’, their breathtaking and still proudly independent follow-up album.
“If it was good enough for The Beatles and Johnny Cash to release a couple of albums per year, then it’s definitely good enough for us,” laughs Adam Spark, the band’s guitarist, songwriter and producer.
And right he is. Though some things have changed over the years, Birds Of Tokyo have been smart enough to avoid trends, instead focusing on what seems to be a long-lost strategy: write great songs, then put them out. Seems simple really. So, striking while the iron is hot, Birds Of Tokyo have wasted no time in writing great songs and putting them out and if you thought their debut turned some heads, then ‘Universes’ will just about break necks.
Darker than its older brother, but no less focused on razor sharp pop hooks, ‘Universes’ is Birds Of Tokyo in full flight. Inspired by the runaway success the past year has blessed them with, the band are energised to an unbelievable level. Hell, according to Spark, they’ve already started writing their third album!
