The Knocks are teaming up with a formidable group of collaborators for HISTORY, such as MUNA, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Cold War Kids, Parson James and Yoke Lore, among others. If that list is any indication, longtime fans are safe to expect the bubbly indietronica sound they’ve come to know and love. The tandem are also...

Listen to This EP Created with Recordings of Birds from Renowned Producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
When Alfred Hitchcock released his legendary 1963 horror film “The Birds,” he portrayed our graceful, winged friends as vicious birds of prey hellbent on gouging out the eyes of humans. Renowned British electronic producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED), on the other hand, went the opposite route, using them as an elegant source of inspiration for his ambient I Can Hear The Birds EP. Spanning four tracks, the project represents a departure from TEED’s sound, but that doesn’t make it any less striking. Eschewing his penchant for indietronica and UK garage flavors, I Can Hear The Birds is a scintillating song-cycle of ambient ballads that uses field recordings of warbling birdsongs as each track’s backbone. The tapes were insp...
