CMU Approved
Approved: An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump (CMU Tips For 2010)
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 12 January 2010
Riding in on a wave of unrelenting drums and fuzzed-up bass, An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump are every bit as intriguing and disturbing as the eighteenth century painting they take their name from. Sparse bursts of post-punk are the order of the day, all topped off with strong vocals offered in turn by each of the band’s three members, who go by the enigmatic names of C-Bird, D-Bird and X-Bird.
They’ve just released their latest EP, ‘Buy A Life’, which you should check out. But really you need to go and see them playing live for the whole thing to make any sort of real sense. Everything they do goes against convention and stamps an unforgettable mark on your musical memory. If you haven’t already, this is a band that you very much need to get acquainted with this year.
