Funeral for a KingHidden Shoal is proud to announce the release of new single ‘Funeral for a King’ by Melbourne band Summon the Birds, taken from their forthcoming second album, Blood Love, recorded by Tim Johnston (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Dandy Warhols, The Drones). Stream the song via SoundCloud and Spotify and download via Bandcamp.

Like Zaphod Beeblebrox animated by Edgar Allan Poe, Summon the Birds have drunk the London tap water and are now poised for flight. Their second album Blood Love will see release on Hidden Shoal in late 2017 – imagine latter-day Talk Talk picking the locks to Spoon’s basement as The Drones circle, restless, looking for the pink pill…

Summon the Birds launch ‘Funeral for a King’ Thursday 21st September at Open Studio in Northcote, so if you’re in Melbourne, check out the details on FB and be sure to head down.
