Birds of Tokyo Review

The new Birds of Tokyo album entitled March Fires sees the band show off their softer more melodic side, something that has polarised current fans with its more mainstream sound.

As a person who has followed the West Australian 5 piece band from their humble beginnings, I find the forty seven minute album is missing the rocky edge of days gone by, yet still is an enjoyable record.

Highlights of the album include the tracks “This Fire,” which came in at number 51 on last year’s Triple J Hottest 100 countdown, the chart topping “Lanterns” and the less known song “When the Night Goes Quiet.”

I find myself listening contently through the track listing, however the lack of crescendo in many of the songs makes multiple listening more difficult, which was not the case with previous albums.

With that being said, I am not one of those fans who will leave supporting a band as they explore their musical abilities. The album is brilliant as it shows just how powerful lead singer Ian Kenny’s voice is, and when compared to previous tracks, how varied his voice is.

The band certainly has unquestionable talent, and that is how their releases keep

gaining the band more momentum, even if they have cost some of the original fans.

March Fires is a new direction for the Birds of Tokyo crew, and as a result will not please many all of their original fans, but in the process, will gain many new fans.
