Praised by the New York Times for his “genuine originality,” Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists, songwriters, and composers of his generation. The New York-born, Montreal-raised singer-songwriter has released eight studio albums to date, three DVDs, and three live albums including the Grammy-nominated Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall. He has collaborated with artists such as Elton John, Burt Bacharach, Robert Wilson, David Byrne, Boy George, Joni Mitchell, Pet Shop Boys, Heart, Robbie Williams, Jessye Norman, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Sting, and producer Mark Ronson, among many others. His latest album, Unfollow The Rules, finds Wainwright at the peak of his powers, entering artistic maturity with passion, honesty, and a new-found fearlessness. His latest album, Unfollow the Rules is out now.

Armed with infectious songs full of love and wonder, new psych-folk duo, Bird to Beast spin magic from the sounds of yesteryear to create something fresh and unique.

Their timeless melodies and soaring harmonies tip a hat to the pop nous of greats like The Beach Boys, Kate Bush and The Beatles as well as contemporary singer-songwriters like Rufus Wainwright and James Mercer.

The duo signed an album deal with Manchester indie MUK Records in November 2012 and released their debut single, the beautiful accordion-led, ‘To Lips From Lungs’ on Sept 8th as the lead track of a 3 track E.P. 

The single received its first radio plays by the likes of Steve Lamacq on his Radio 2 ‘Rock college’ show, Frank Skinner on his Absolute Radio show, as well as plays and a session on Ruth Barnes’ Amazing Radio show.

The self-titled debut album was made available digitally on MUK Records from the 14th of October with the physical format from 10th December. The band will be performing the album and signing copies at their Manchester launch show at The Castle in the city’s Northern quarter on Nov 4th. 

The second single, the double A sided ‘Elephant / Winter Snow’ will be released on MUK Records on 13th Jan 2014.
