TERROR BIRD

About Me

The songs are manic, taking you from the darkness of your heart to a sunny memory from long ago. Stage shows are minimalist, shy, and can capture you forever. Dance or cry. Once you're a fan, you can't forget. Synthesiser and drums united. Songwriting rivaling Daniel Johnston. Strange chords for your bad twin. Always recording and writing new songs, but we will take you out to lunch any day.Undress Yourself
