Some records don't just tell stories—they open old rooms and invite you inside. In the latest edition of IUF, Lynsey Ward and Jonny Knight of Exploring Birdsong discuss "Every House We Built," the band's debut album out now via Long Branch Records. The conversation explores the years-long journey behind the record, using houses as a metaphor for relationships, and why this became their most personal and vulnerable collection of songs to date.
What makes Exploring Birdsong so compelling is their refusal to fit neatly into one category. Progressive rock, cinematic arrangements, alternative textures, and pop sensibilities all coexist while never losing sight of the emotion at the center of the music. This episode dives into heartbreak, grief, resilience, and the beauty of embracing what makes a band truly unique. If you've been searching for a band that feels both ambitious and deeply human, Exploring Birdsong might just be your next obsession.
One of the most unique pieces of work you will hear in 2026. "Every House We Built" is out now worldwide via Long Branch Records.
