The Extinct Birds Society
Lo-fi Jazz / Neo-Soul
The Extinct Birds Society is the poetic voice of Pishkey Music.
They take the verses of Dickinson, Kipling and Longfellow out of the archive and set them to music, as instrumentals.
Their sound is Lo-Fi Jazz and Neo-Soul: Rhodes, brushes, vinyl crackle.
"To live deep and suck out all the marrow of life."
They don't just record tracks. They resurrect the human spirit.
