Upon its release, legendary British DJ John Peel took a liking to Sudden Ensemble’s first album “A.M. 11” and featured many of the record’s songs in his Radio One and BBC World Service shows. Now S.E. has emerged with an upbeat collection of new material. Sudden Ensemble’s brand of lo-fi rock has blossomed into something richer and more nuanced on their new release. “Life In A Birdcage” is a dashing soundscape that sweeps gracefully from scuzzy, straight-ahead rock and roll to melodic country and blues. Still brimming with their trademark close-knit harmonies and fuzzy, melodic guitar hooks (“Speed Trackers”, “T Street”) their second CD finds Sudden Ensemble stepping out of the garage and exploring new melodic territory in the country and blues infused “See Me Soon”, “Black Tape” and “Zero Gravity”. The band’s strength lies in its ability to explore the balance between tough and tender, high and low, and on “Life In A Birdcage” the blend of disparate elements creates a gritty and shimmering mix that is both striking and consistent.

Sudden Ensemble have played in the U.S. and in Europe and were selected to be amongst the artists to appear at Repellent Magazine’s Music Festival at Volume in Brooklyn, NY.
