School Fair - Bird the Kid (2025)
"Bird the Kid" has been praised for its cinematic and emphatically emotional compositions. Critics highlight the album's ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia while exploring new musical horizons. The band's use of haunting melodies and reflective lyrics creates an eerie yet captivating atmosphere. Tracks like "Gorse the Golden" and "A Torn Moon Mended" showcase the band's talent for crafting dreamy sequences that build slowly, never peaking but ending where they started, leaving listeners in a contemplative state. The album is considered a significant evolution from their previous work, "Gorse on a Hill," pushing out of post-punk into a fusion of genres that defies easy categorization.
