Manchester-born poet, writer, and producer Antony Szmierek releases his second album, Decoding Birdsong, pressed exclusively to crystal clear LP with red, white and blue crushed splatter, limited to 500 and hand-numbered.

Just eighteen months after his critically acclaimed debut, Szmierek returns with a new body of work that signals a clear evolution in both sound and scope. Rooted in his personal touchstones within electronic music, the album pairs expansive, immersive production with his trademark razor-sharp lyricism. Where his debut had been a solo endeavour, Decoding Birdsong brims with collaboration, including Australia’s Pretty Girl, London band Los Bitchos, and Bristol producer 1-800 GIRLS, as well as Imogen and the Knife and indie pop star Ellur.
