Progressive alt-pop trio Exploring Birdsong have released their new single “Spy In The House Of Love” from the upcoming debut album Every House We Built, out via Long Branch Records on June 26.
“Spy In The House Of Love” is a track about heartbreak and all the complicated feelings that come with it, which everyone can relate to at least once in their life. The name of the song comes from the book with the same title, however the two don’t have much in common. It was more so that discovering the book represented a key moment creatively for vocalist Lynsey Ward.
"I came across the book 'Spy in the House of Love' by accident one day, and immediately felt compelled by how the phrase had organized a lot of messy feelings while being in the throes of a heavy break-up. There is actually very little that the book and our song have in common, but discovering it did catalyze a great deal of focus creatively and personally. Everyone at some stage has felt confused or betrayed in heartbreak, and we are far from the first to write a song about it. It is quite new territory for us, though!"
Lynsey Ward, vocalist
Every House We Built, the full-length debut album, represents a very vulnerable and personal chapter for the band, moving from conceptual storytelling to a more poignant exploration of relationships, whether they are romantic, friendships or family dynamics. Choosing the metaphor of houses was intentional, the emotional bonds being meticulously built in time but also prone to crumbling down just as easily as the architecture of a building.
Throughout the album, the band channels personal experience into songs that explore anxiety, destructive relationships, longing and loss, while still leaving space for hope, comfort and personal growth. The record moves fluidly between raw emotional weight and quieter moments of introspection - even in the aftermath of collapse, hope is found in the possibility of rebuilding trust, connection and new beginnings.
This September, Exploring Birdsong are going to tour the UK, playing their biggest headline shows to date. The tour will kick off in Glasgow and end with a final date in Manchester on September 26. Tickets are available here.
