Exploring Birdsong bring their genre blending sensibilities to 2026 with the release of their anticipated debut album ‘Every House We Built’. Fronted by Lynsey Ward, dubbed by Rocksound as ‘one of the most stunning vocalists that the UK has at its disposal…’ she is backed by ‘extraordinary’ bass player Jonny Knight, and ‘mighty’ drummer Matt Harrison. From early demoing in 2022 the trio have been working tirelessly to meticulously craft the vivid world in which all twelve tracks live, and that listeners can expect to be immersed in once they hit ‘play’. Sophisticated and matured, Exploring Birdsong deliver on their distinctive sound established in 2019, whilst pulling back the curtain on some of the more obscure influences that have inspired the band to make the music they will be introducing us to this summer.

“Every House We Built is an exploration of our interpersonal relationships,” explains the band. “Be it friendships, familial or romantic, for the first time we have written from our experiences rather than putting an existing story or concept to music. Houses, in this instance, are being used symbolically as a means to depict these connections, and how we have reflected on our experiences. We discuss how our, and everybody’s relationships come and go much in the same way that houses do – taking time to be carefully built into safe loving spaces, but needing no time at all to be destroyed.”
