The Bird and the Radio
2014 This collection represents The Bird And The Radio’s third full-length release, and the first attempt at a concept album. Inspired by the thought of discovering and updating a cache of lost music by a fictitious, unknown songwriter from the early 20th century named Earl Len Jones, it ended up being mostly just a collection of songs from 2013-2014. All words, music, and production by The Bird And The Radio.
2011 Mistaken For Planes is an EP about giving up on troubled love. Giving up on the night. Trying harder to bring meaning to what's been given up. Or something like that.
Last Ditch Sunday Afternoon
2010 A set of recordings that span the seasons and hit upon the classic universal musical themes: HP Lovecraft in the local drinking water, being Swedish, OCD lawn droids, and LSD poisoning in France.

You Come Undone
2010 "A friend of mine, an advertising schmuck, told me to check this out. I was a little bit scared when I heard the music, like it was some kind of cult-shit, like the stuff they play when they kill chickens. But I got used to it and now i kind of like it." - Kim From Arctic. Remixes.
