Din Of Celestial Birds - Takeoffs & Landings

Din Of Celestial Birds have quickly become one of the UK's most championed and hard working heavy progressive post-rock bands, known for their vibrant, visually engaging live performances. The Leeds based instrumental quintet have often been praised for their ability to bring a sense of storytelling and heart-on-your-sleeve emotions into their elegantly textured and energetic songs. Now, the quintet return with their brand new full length studio record Takeoffs & Landings, a concept album all about adventure, travel, and the journey of life - literally and figuratively - encompassing all the stresses and triumphs.

The band doubled their studio time with Joe Clayton (guitarist of Pijn and Leeched) compared to the recording of their debut, fully intending to allow more time for experimenting, playing with sound and finding those off-the-cuff moments. Building intensity and atmosphere with a surging momentum comes so naturally to Din Of Celestial Birds. These songs offer more contrast, twists and turns, showcasing heavier riffs and injecting more energy than ever before; but also finding moments of reflection in the calmer passages, all informed by the motif of travelling and adventure.
