Amidst a sea of post-hardcore noise, Birds In Row rise with clarity and conviction
Officially out tomorrow on CD, LP, and Digital via Deathwish Inc. (home to heavyweights like Blacklisted, Modern Life Is War, Planes Mistake For Stars…), ‘We Already Lost The World’ — stunning new album from France’s Birds In Row — is now available for early streaming below.
To mark the occasion, the band has also unveiled a gripping video for the track “I Don’t Dance”, which you can watch right here.
Six years after their debut ‘You, Me And The Violence’, the French trio returns with a record that pushes the boundaries of hardcore. ‘We Already Lost The World’ is not just another post-hardcore release—it’s a visceral, emotional, and artfully crafted journey through despair, resistance, and vulnerability. Darker, moodier, and more expansive than ever before, Birds In Row offer something raw and refreshingly authentic in a genre where those words are too often used carelessly.
From the haunting opener “We Count So We Don’t Have to Listen” to the blazing urgency of “Love Is Political” and the ironic yet groove-heavy standout “I Don’t Dance”, the album oscillates between rage and restraint. The band expertly blends blistering aggression with melancholic ambiance, marrying spastic hardcore riffs to gloomy acoustic motifs and moments of eerie calm.
This isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s a manifesto of emotional turmoil and societal angst. The band’s relative anonymity (they go by B, D, and T) underscores the record’s universal message: this isn’t about the individual, it’s about us. It’s about the world we live in, the one we’ve already lost.
With its unpredictable rhythms, soul-piercing screams, and deeply human core, ‘We Already Lost The World‘ stands out as one of the most compelling and sincere hardcore releases of the year. Birds In Row have achieved what few bands manage: a sound that feels vital, alive, and essential.
The full album is available now for streaming below and can also be ordered in both physical and digital formats right here.
