It’s no secret that the landscape of Birds Of Tokyo’s home of Western Australia; a desert-like state so vast and unforgiving that to provide it with a soundtrack requires a higher level of grandeur and majesty one would ever dare associate with the ‘pop’ music tag.
But, down to its bones, pop music is what Birds of Tokyo write… they just layer those bones in muscle, and give the beast a heart.
Beautifully expressive in its texture, yet thick and rich in its deceptive simplicity; Birds Of Tokyo’s music is universal and incredibly humanistic. In what could be described as the blink of an eye, the band have struck a nerve in their homeland, giving way to an unprecedented rise to popularity, but it is in their blossoming international recognition can be seen the band’s true strength and ability to connect with people.

I "discovered" BoT last year, and since then easily rate Universes as one of my favourite long plays of the last decade. Ive deliberately waited a year to be sure it wasnt a phase, but if i was stranded on a desert island with only a choice of one album (and electricity) this would be up there.

They came to Hobart with their Broken Strings Tour... aside from the hordes of drunk people being unable to appreciate the awesome music, it was one of the most enjoyable music experiences I've had this year.

Thankyou for playing Russian Roulette the other night in Perth. It's been my most played song in iTunes for so long! One of the greatest concerts ever and can't wait to buy the DVD!

New favorite band. Ian Kenny is amazing. I have been listening to their CDs in my car over and over for like the last month and could keep doing it. Their songs are contagious. "I can't get 'em out of my, my head. I..."
