Progressive Alt-Pop outfit Exploring Birdsong have today released their new single “Spy In The House Of Love,” the latest track taken from their upcoming debut album “Every House We Built,” out June 26 via Long Branch Records.
Speaking of the track, vocalist Lynsey Ward shares: “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!”

Exploring Birdsong have evolved into one of the UK’s most compelling and unclassifiable modern bands. Following a bold shift in sound first signalled by their 2024 singles, the three piece have expanded their sonic palette without sacrificing the emotional intimacy and genre blurring beauty that defines them.
Fronted by the unmistakable voice of Lynsey Ward alongside Jonny Knight (Bass) and Matt Harrison (Drums), the band craft a sound that weaves vulnerability, heaviness and intricate songwriting into something entirely their own. Their approach to modern Heavy Music feels both Cinematic and deeply personal, balancing raw feeling with Experimental ambition, with subtle touchstones in artists such as Kate Bush.
This emotional core has been matched by growing momentum. By 2025 the band had sold out back-to-back headline shows at London’s St Pancras Old Church within minutes, building on previous sold out dates in Manchester and London. Having shared stages with Katatonia and Sleep Token alongside appearances at RADAR Festival and Euroblast, Exploring Birdsong continue to carve out a space that feels entirely their own, unplaceable yet unmistakable.
Lineup:
Lynsey Ward / Vocals and Piano
Jonny Knight / Bass and Synthesizers
Matt Harrison / Drums and Percussion
