Birdman Cult – Let Me Out (2022)
Known for their mature, philosophical and slightly obscure approach to life, the UK-based Birdman Cult share their unique music with the masses. Founded by vocalist Joseph B. Eden, the quintet brings a refreshing breath of air to stagnating indie music scenes. Featuring on various blogs, including Rock N Load Magazine, When The Horn Blogs, Sinusoidal Music and Less Than 1000 Followers, Birdman Cult are reaching audiences across the globe (or at least across the UK). The latest addition to their well-received discography is the single ‘Let Me Out’.
Establishing themselves as a strong band, Birdman Cult began gaining momentum this year with their single ‘Ferryman’. Continuing the roll of hot hits, ‘Let Me Out’ is something very different. While there is a haziness to the sonic mist, there is a kaleidoscopic grunge-inspired boldness to the track. Rather difficult to define, I can only describe ‘Let Me Out’ as a wild sonic ride expressing a plethora of emotions in a few minutes. Distorted guitars harmonically blend with synths and pounding drums, but it is Eden’s vocals that bring a palpable grittiness to the song.
Along with the mind-altering melody, Birdman Cult showcases their depth as artists in the lyrical content. Eden explains that ‘Let Me Out’ “…was born out of a visit to my home town in the North East feeling like an outsider in the place that raised me, being reminded of an old version of myself and realising the impact a place can have on a person…the song is meant to be an appreciative nod to a town much like a friend that I’ve outgrown but seems to be on my mind constantly.”
Bold, rich and flowing in its own manic distortion, Birdman Cult bring sincerity, sentimentality and honesty to listeners with ‘Let Me Out’.
