press release - Giant Redwoods / Put the Bird to Sleep
Based high up in the mountains of Brighton, England, Pickled Egg’s latest signing, Oddfellows Casino, is the home of musician, author and former Shimmydisc collaborator, David Bramwell. The band’s glorious debut single comes in the guise of a double A side, with ‘Giant Redwoods’ demonstrating their ability to deliver the perfect spine-tingling Hammond-soaked pop song, whilst in contrast, ‘Put the Bird to Sleep’ comes as a haunting and beautiful piano-driven tune, backed by Eastern-sounding strings and creeping electronica.
“Every so often a single comes out of the blue by a band I've never heard of that knocks my socks off: gloriously crafted songs beautifully produced and arranged, mid-period Beach Boys wide-eyed melancholy, Felt-esque swirling Hammond accompaniment, this has 'classic single' bursting from its grooves” [Gayle Brogan, The Melody Bar]
