Birds of Tokyo – Brace
After a slight departure in recent releases, Birds of Tokyo have returned to the dark, nu-metal sound that made them a success in their early years.
In order to burn their radio-friendly process to the ground, Birds of Tokyo enlisted producer David Botrill, who’s previously worked with Tool and Muse, to bring out a much edgier and darker sound. This decision has proven to be a master stroke as Brace is one of their best records to date.
Standout tracks are 'Brace', 'Pilot' and 'Discoloured', which features guest vocals from The Jezabels' Hayley Mary to add a lovely new dimension and layer to the sound.
Brace is sure to satisfy long-time fans and new comers alike.
