“Objective Consciousness” is the debut album from Deathbird Earth, a 2 piece band based in the city of Philadelphia on the planet of Earth, consisting of BJ (Hulk Smash, Dialer, Dangerbird) and Dave (Psychic Teens, Gholas, Exmaid). Deathbird Earth’s sound tends to eschew typical genre classification but is made from a mix of Heavy drums and distorted bass layered with keyboard sounds that may or may not be lifted from your favorite classic science fiction films. The album is available from SRA Records (Soul Glo, Stinking Lizaveta, HIRS) on translucent “black ice” vinyl, CD and tape.
The album was recorded at Red Planet and features more collaborators than actual band members. On Side A, two tracks were born out of full-blown collaborative sessions. “Mission: Planet-Y” was recorded with Experimental duo Planet-Y which features Yanni Papadopoulos (Stinking Lizaveta) & Pete Wilder (EDO), and “Mission: Nick Millevoi” was laid down with guitar virtuoso extraordinaire Nick Millevoi (Basic, Many Arms, Desertion Trio). Both sessions yielded a full 40 minutes worth of improved music and will each be released on limited LPs and cassettes (available via SRA Records!) March 12th.
In the band’s own words:
BJ:
“It was important to us that this record be raw and represent what we do live. To that end we didn’t use a click track, drum replacements or auto tuning. But we decided to take it a step farther and also did no drum edits at all, instead opting for doing multiple takes until we got it ‘close enough’. We are firmly against the use of AI in art and used none of it in our creative process.
Dave:
“The group of songs that make up ‘Objective Consciousness’ feels very immediate to me. BJ and I wrote them together in our practice space in just one year from first practice to the start of recording. I think it allows them to still feel fresh and not ‘overworked’ which is important in keeping the energy and original intent behind the songs intact.“
Upcoming releases:
Armed with an abundance of material born out of album recording sessions and late night collaborations, Deathbird Earth lead their descent upon Terra with:
3/12: Two longform collaborations, with Nick Millevoi and Planet-Y
4/3: Album “Objective Consciousness“
