Flightless Birds

Following their self-released 7" and ''Gone Tomorrow'', Bristol four-piece Svalbard return with a new 7" single in the form of ''Flightless Birds''. Drawing musical influence from crust, post-rock and hardcore; and lyrical influence from early 20th century existentialism, ''Flightless Birds'' alternates between moments of aggression and moments of frailty with an all-encompassing sense of desperate hope. Cathartic and affecting, Svalbard are without a doubt one of UK''s finest new bands.
