We live in a perplexing era of decreasing attention spans, overstimulation, and hyperbolic discourse. Being a small independent artist means to continually compromise and evolve. Even when our work has been devalued or minimized, we still look for ways to connect.

The goal of this record is to connect with people. Money, press, playlists, are all obstacles between us. They hurt our core. Our gift to you is this beautiful transparent vinyl record, with custom phenakistoscope, for free. (or the minimum allowable amount plus shipping)
We're not doing this cause we've got money, far from it.

If you love it, you may purchase the digital album, which includes two additional songs. The record would have been $25 so feel free to pay up to that if you can, or feel like it.

Includes unlimited streaming of Every Bird Ever [Album] via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

The challenges of our generation feel amplified and the lines of reality and hyperbole are beyond blurred. So many things feel out of reach. Will I find love, will I find a home, will I die before I’m ready? This is an album that attempts to capture the feeling of confronting impossibility with reckless optimism. Embracing sadness, imperfection, and joy equally.

This is the second record by Brooklyn based ILITHIOS (idiot in Greek). The significance of birds, which appear throughout the record in field recordings, artwork, and lyrics, is their symbolism as free beings, bringers of luck, healing, but also as tragic figures. Magpies in some cultures are revered, whereas in others they are a nuisance, or pest… and therefore exterminated. Other birds are misunderstood, the Coucal builds nests with grasses believed to have medicinal qualities.. So people will go to the nests, break the legs of the nestlings in order to get the parent Coucal to bring this supposed medicinal grass to be harvested and sold. By giving meaning to nature, we both mytholigize birds, and devastate them. If you examine birds enough.. as with any object, person, or animal, you can find the parallels to our own lives. But not cats, they make no sense.

The record includes many guests from the New York City music scene to give different voices and life to the songs

A fabulous mix of weird and singalong-able. Lots of sharp left turns, but never lacking in melodies. stephenottoperry
