Ex People - Bird [Vinyl]

LP on limited edition red and black vinyl. Emerging from the London DIY scene, vocalist Laura and drummer Vicki first met playing in series of riot grrrl and noise bands, before forming Ex People in 2015 with guitarist Calum and bassist Ed. The band self-released a digital single "Without/Surekill" in late 2016, which was championed by Terrorizer, Echoes and Dust and The Sludgelord. Now for NHS, the band have delivered a bruisingly assured debut album. 'Bird' was recorded with Wayne Adams (Vodun, USA Nails, Death Pedals) and he's captured the visceral weight of their sound, a startling amalgam of super filthy fuzz thick riffs, grunge, noise rock and stoner, combined with a punk attitude. The ten tracks that make up 'Bird' combine stoner hooks and soaring vocals with a crushing heaviness. Add to that some thumping motorik beats (almost like a heavy 'Neu' at times), shot through with an ever-present melodic sensibility, and you have a band that once again shows that when it comes to heavy music, all gates are open. Lyrically Laura draws on apocalyptic and dystopian themes.
