An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump

An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump

Originally formed in 2008 and named after a Joseph Wright of Derby painting, An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump is a band with no designated front person, drummer or bassist - harnessing their skills as multi-instrumentalists and vocalists, this is a truly unique band. Composed of British-Filipino twin sisters, C-Bird and X-Bird and D-Bird who is of British Nepalese-Indian descent, the band's inspirations include no wave, punk, soul and grunge. Using a melting pot of diverse influences and vocals, bass guitars and drums as their instruments of choice, the band create intense, emotional songs with critics unable to truly define their indescribable music. The band have worked with Steve Albini on an unreleased album and recorded EPs with producers/musicians, Steve Mackey (Pulp) and Tim Burgess (The Charlatans). An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump have been on hiatus since 2010 and have returned in 2025 with new found passion, energy and urgency.
