‘Through weary courage, love sustain, through unending courage, love, sustain’
Bird of Peace Orchestra started life as an ad-hoc house band for a Do You Have Peace? show supporting
@rogerrobinsononline at the cube.
The record is made up of a series of one-take recordings, jams, and largely unedited in-the-room practice sessions, captured in the moment.
‘Summer never came I was outside in the bitter cold silver metal ice glitter gold
under street lights still young but I’m feeling old’
Lyrically the record consists of a mix of spoken confessionals, mantras, affirmations, and late night ballads.
Live guitar, synths and vocals were added as we sat around in a room listening for hours to 8 bar loops, while
@intelmercenary_42069 overlaid drum patterns on his workhorse MPC 2000XL. Influences blending to create a strange mix of bedroom soul, shoe gaze, folk and rap.
‘Ángel de mi guarda, dulce compañía. No me desampares, ni de noche ni de día’
