Great feelings, energy, melancholic soft melodies. BIRDEATSBABY, from Brighton, are a special ensemble that has been delivering the great inner cinema since 2009. The name of the Dark Progressive Rock band was literally dreamt up while sleeping, bandleader and multi-instrumentalist Mishkin Fitzgerald and her fellow bandmates walk on paths far away from the uniform mainstream. "The World Conspires" is the fifth album and at the same time the beginning of a new phase in the musical development of BIRDEATSBABY, touching the spheres of modern Prog Metal for the first time. Reaching into these new avenues of musical inspiration, the English band fuse their genre of Dark Cabaret with harder progressive sounds without neglecting their roots. Open-minded music fans with a preference for bands and artists such as Anathema, Tool, Nick Cave or Muse should note the 18th of October 2019, when the new masterpiece, produced by the legendary John Fryer (Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, HIM) and mastered by Bob Macchiochi (Shades, Baby Grande, Space Jesus) in the Black Needle Noise Emporium Studio in Los Angeles, will be released via Dr. Music Records. The album leads the listener on a roller coaster ride of drama and conflicting emotions. From the rich, orchestral and fragile album opener "Hold Your Breath", a mantra for anyone who has gone through trauma, it continues with the mystical "Painkiller", as well as the title song and its overwhelming ode to love, on to "Lady Grey", which elegiacally and captivatingly walks through the shadows, before the musicians slow down with "How Do I" and let Mishkin's sensitive voice float over soft piano sounds, accompanied by strings. The tragic "Box Of Razorblades" continues atmospherically until the last act is introduced with the extraordinary "Dido's Lament" along with brilliant guest vocals by Feline Lang. In "Kill No One" the punk attitude of earlier days flashes up again before the last curtain falls with the spherical "Look Away".

Press Quotes

Full of innovation and wonderfully uplifting at times ... Mishkin Fitzgerald's vocal ability, particularly in matching the pitch of the violin, is breathtaking ... There are no other bands around today that you can even begin to compare to Birdeatsbaby ... a new path ... unique, and also quite wonderful too ... when the world conspires to give us music like this then you can still hope that everything will be fine in the end.

Eccentric, unique and unprecedented [...] With 'The World Conspires', BIRDEATSBABY are once again the prime example of why it is absolutely worth being open to new things.

With 'The World Conspires' BIRDEATSBABY have now returned with a soundtrack for the soulful, haunting, riotous celebration of life in all its facets. The album leads the listener on a roller coaster ride of drama and conflicting emotions.

     —NewProgReleases.com

Throw in a touch of Kate Bush and a drop of Diablo Swing Orchestra [...] they write great songs, from Heavy Metal tinged numbers to eerie piano dirges and synth-driven churns. 'The World Conspires' is a superb Dark Prog album.

     —HeavyMusicHQ.com

One of best albums of the 2019

     —Marco Angileri, Metal-Temple.com

Produced by John Fryer (NIN, Depeche Mode), this fifth from the increasingly metallic, Brighton-based dark proggers comfortably inhabits fresh soundscapes. Expansive ambitions, string-driven psychodramas and a stone-classic
