\"birdsoftokyo_photographer_mcleanstephenson1\"<\/a>Birds Of\u00a0Tokyo<\/strong> unveiled their\u00a0forthcoming album –\u00a0\u201cBrace<\/strong>\u201d – last night by playing all their new songs in a special gig at Carriageworks in Sydney\u2019s\u00a0inner west for a few hundred fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were writing and recording we kept talking about how we wanted to make a really dark and intense rock record that would be great to play live\u201d, explains group frontman, Ian Kenny. \u201cSo we figured the only appropriate way to lift these tunes for the first time was to smash them out at a gig.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Added the band\u2019s guitarist Adam Spark, \u201cwe\u2019ve never actually done a show that was all just one album from start to finish but it was fitting for the first airing of this one to be a live performance because that\u2019s exactly how it was conceived – like a setlist.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also fitting that the new\u00a0album is called \u201cBrace<\/strong>\u201d.\u00a0Dark. Dystopic. Cinematic. It\u2019s equal parts radical departure and a return to their epic rock roots. Safe to say that\u00a0\u201cBrace<\/strong>\u201d is probably\u00a0not what most people are expecting from the band. Listen to the title track from\u00a0\u201cBrace<\/strong>\u201d here:<\/p>\n
