Fronted by Sleep Token backing vocalist Lynsey Ward, alt-pop trio Exploring Birdsong have dropped experimental single ‘Weight In Gold’.
Following the release of their 2023 EP ‘Dancing In The Face Of Danger’, the delicate piano-led cut signals the beginning of a new era for the band.
Take a listen to ‘Weight In Gold’ below.
Speaking on the new song, the band have shared:
“’Weight in Gold’ was another song that was initially written way back during our time in university as part of our songwriting module.
“In a similar way to ‘The Collapse’, it existed in a wildly different form back then, and we knew we wanted to release it at some point, but didn’t want to waste what we thought is one of the strongest choruses we had in the bank. The benefit of having time to leave it alone and eventually revisit it has given us what we think is a song that encapsulates us pretty perfectly – and although up to this point, it’s the poppiest song we’ve released, it still feels like it is a really natural fit within the way our writing and arranging has progressed over the last year or so.”
And on the track’s striking music video, they have also said:
“The music video is the most fun we’ve ever had on a shoot. Really, all of the songs left to release this year each display a different side of us in their own right. Differing vastly from each other, and don’t have a place on our debut album, but are still, completely, authentically us.”
