This week’s PBS Feature Album is Biofilter, the debut album from synth ambassadors Birdsnake.
Creating their own brand of psychedelic infused downtempo electronica, Birdsnake explore the line between digital and organic. Their debut longplay Biofilter is an aquatic themed exploration through their lens of electronica, filled with watery dubscapes, shimmering reverb, rolling layers of synths and organic percussion tinkling like shells on the ocean bed. With hints of throw-back '90s, atmospheric, trip-hop and forward focused electronica, the album both energises and soothes.
Having met at music school, Birdsnake formed when after class jams became a regular occurrence. This improvised and relaxed sharing of ideas, with their love for synths and effects equipment, has informed the band’s sound. The focus on texture and feeling is an evident mantra for Birdsnake’s song writing, and Biofilter builds on this chemistry.
