Minneapolis-based 3 piece hip-hop band NO BIRD SING is set to drop their "DEFINITION SICKNESS" LP on November 12, 2013 via STRANGE FAMOUS RECORDS.

No Bird Sing combines the talents of emcee Joe Horton, drummer/producer Graham O'Brien, and guitarist/producer Robert Mulrennan. With "Definition Sickness", the trio has maintained the integrity of their live-band roots while exploring a more produced sound that ranges from stark minimalism to lush expansiveness. The first video from the album, "And War", examines the central decision faced by citizens of an empire in decline: cling to dying ideas and anesthetics or resolve to experience a disquieting reality with more depth and clarity?

Set in a near-future America, the video follows one man through a derelict city as he encounters LED-clad jackers, underground auctions, and users of a mysterious, opiate-like drug. It's clear that the man is searching for something, but neither he nor the viewer has more than a faint sense of what that might be. "And War" presents viewers with a vision of America only slightly removed from their own, asking them to view their own declining empires, both personal and political, with new eyes.

"Definition Sickness" will be available in stores as well as iTunes and all major digital retailers on November 12, 2013. Exclusive pre-order packages are available now at http://tinyurl.com/DefinitionSickness

Lyrics:
 
Verse 1)
 I let the light sink inside my skin just so I can breathe again
 Balancing the weight between creepy and obsessive
 The world of the weight on my back backwards wait
 Words back me in a way I need to be accepted
 Everything is relative, the world is full of skeletons
 Dancing to the rhythm to pretend that they’re alive
 But I don’t got a bone to pick especially when they’re broke and hit
 The funny one, it’s cumbersome to wonder why they try
 A fifth in my right hand, quarters in my left
 Until my half-life is a hole inside my chest
 If I sit and listen with this individual diction
 Is it indiscriminant or just a symptom of the sickness?
 Or a metaphor of change?
 To break a dollar, people write their letters for a chain
 I’d rather write a chain letter, it’s better for the pain
 And the people in my life that always said I was insane
 I’ll throw a noose around the sun and be the pendulum
 Tick-tock, tick-tock, I’ll wait until the medics come
 I’ll be so high and so bright that if you want me back
 You’ll have to sit and watch the setting sun
 Bring my body to the ground
 Before they catch a breath they’ll be calling it profound
 Martyrdom for beauty’s sake, decorates the landscape
 As everybody’s hands shake from quality they found
 This is what it’s like to taste the Heavens and dismiss the grace
 Another year, another fake expression in a picture frame
 Another birthday wish and still it didn’t change
 A lap around the sun never took me to a different place
 But I have to keep floating
 Until I meet Virginia Woolf trapped in sheep’s clothing
 I could be the stones in her pockets when we walk in
 To the ocean and marvel at the coast until we sink
 
(Verse 2)
 And as her lungs filled with water
 She watched the sun spill across her
 Until the mud filled her armor
 Sea shells spelled “Our love still will conquer”
 Nope, bubbles rose to the surface
 Anchored down where the stones and the dirt live
 Taste the ground that she chose to submerge in
 “Oh, Vir-gin-ia Woolf, don’t be ner-vous”
 (No) When all the medicine your head you said has driven you to go
 And follow sadness, left for dead instead I’m diggin’ up your bones
 They’re all intact and set up when I get to give ‘em all a home
 An artifact that’s Heaven-sent, I get to visit on my own
 I’m alone now on the go-round
 That broke down slow when I pulled my soul out
 For sold-out shows full of ghosts of old doubts
 And profound hopes that I don’t control now
 I know, somebody come and set me free
 From the sea of an undetected grief
 Some things that you love aren’t meant to be
 Bleeding hearts run out of blood eventually
 So we can call her my atonement
 A message in a bottle that I wanted you to open
 It’s a poem, a sorrowful devotion
 That I left for you at the bottom of the ocean
 Virginia
