The Rare Birds

Kid Loco

A lush, smoke-filled return to psychedelic downtempo. Drifting guitars and deep dub basslines create a cinematic world that feels both vintage and timeless.

It sounds like a 1960s psych-rock band got lost in a dub studio in the middle of the night.

A hazy, cinematic drift through nocturnal landscapes and psychedelic daydreams.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the bassline in The Boat Song anchors nearly nine minutes of drifting psychedelic textures.
The sudden transition into heavy echo and space on Venus Alice in Dub.
The fragile, breathy vocal delivery on Claire that feels like a secret being shared.
