Birds In Row – “Nympheas”

Birds In Row – “Nympheas”

French hardcore noisemakers Birds In Row have announced their third full-length album, Gris Klein, which comes four years after their 2018 effort, We Already Lost The World. Gris Klein will be out Oct. 14 via Red Creek Recordings. It features the recent “Water Wings” and today’s explosive new single “Nympheas,” which is being billed as the lead single. The band calls it “an ode to those who keep fighting when we don’t have the energy to anymore, or never have had it, especially when facing political issues that are increasingly more visible.”

Written over COVID lockdown, Gris Klein is intended to reflect the political chaos of the last couple of years. At the same time, the band expresses optimism around community in a statement: “We really want people to know that they’re not alone, and that they can count on each other.”
