Greetings magnificent patrons!

I hope you like the look of the new line-up... this cover photo was taken by the incredible Scott Chalmers.

Here's another one of a goth in a tree. Ha.

Anyway, I've barely had time to write to you this month as so much goodness has been going on... deep breath... here goes...

1. THE WORLD CONSPIRES IS OUT THIS MONTH!

Our album is coming out on Patreon only in a few days time.

That's all of it.

15 tracks of sheer emotion, ambition and unfiltered lyrical purpose are coming to you in the form of musical expression.

It will be hitting your inboxes on 31st August with a bang, a full two months before official release date. You already heard some of it, but hearing it as a whole will give you the full experience.

And it really is an experience.

We really hope you like it.

In other very important news I have several things to make you aware of.

2. PATREON ONLY WEBCAST FROM ROLAND STUDIOS, LONDON

So, we've been getting friendly with Roland in the USA/UK over the last year or so. We use a lot of their tech and my piano is a beautiful FP-4 (which I adore I so much that I have two), one in England and one in USA for touring.

You'll also hear a lot of guitar synths on The World Conspires, courtesy of Roland... check out the noises on "Ropes".

After several meetings we've been asked to perform at their studios in London and we're going to stream it LIVE to you guys, only. The videos afterwards will be released online but the whole show will be streamed exclusively to patrons of Birdeatsbaby.

There is also a limited number of guests who can actually attend the event! So, if you're interested please email mishkin@birdeatsbaby.co.uk for a guest pass and it'll be first come first serve.

The show is on Thursday 5th September at 6-8pm. A top secret Facebook event will be up soon.

Here is me looking sad with my Roland piano.

2. A PIANO COLLABORATION WITH KAT DOWNS

Remember last year when I put out a joint EP called Hymns & Hollows?

It was a rather excellent Patreon endeavour.

Well, Kat's back in England and on the piano!

We've been locked away writing duets for the last two weeks. It's looking like we'll have 5 brand new pieces, including scores for next month's Patreon treats, but she'll be giving away some of it before then if you want to follow her on her own patreon here.
