Birds Of Tokyo showcased material off their upcoming record last night at Sydney’s Carriageworks and unveiled their new single Brace on the bands Facebook page today after taking to triple j this morning to announce the news.
The band have been very vocal about their new “heavy” direction, sounding more like something off a Karnivool or Muse record than their previous radio friendly Anchor EP.
“This new direction is very deliberate … we feel like we’re doing something so right for us.” stated vocalist Ian Kenny.
Their fifth studio album Brace is due for release Friday, November 4 and the group are planning on touring the new record in November and December.
The Jezebels’ Hayley Mary guest stars on the record and appeared last night at their preview performance joining them on stage for new track Discoloured.
