**limited edition single-sided heavy weight vinyl record in full colour luxury sleeve** Birds is a collaboration between Erik Kessels, Anthony Burrill and Malcolm Goldie. Bird song and aeroplane recordings are carefully arranged in an audio collage of pleasant and unpleasant sounds. The record creates an unsettling listening experience featuring amongst others the House Sparrow, Airbus A320, Blue Tit, Boeing 777X, Wood Pigeon and a Cessna 172. In times where the sound of birds and airplanes are absent due to the fact we have to stay indoors, this record could provide the ultimate but disturbing mix of both of them.

Quote from Anthony Burrill: "When Erik and I first spoke about making a record mixing bird song and plane noises I thought it was a ridiculous idea. We asked Malcolm Goldie to create the sound composition and sprinkle a touch of humour into the mix. Now that we’ve made the record and are ready to release it I still think it’s mad. Sometimes it’s good to make idiotic things happen."
