London-based progressive alt-pop outfit Exploring Birdsong have released Live From The Cottage, a stripped-back live session featuring reimagined versions of three tracks from their upcoming debut album Every House We Built, out June 26 via Long Branch Records.
Speaking of the session, vocalist Lynsey Ward shares, "Deconstructing the first three singles from Every House We Built for this live session has been a fun challenge for us! We've spent hours on the details whilst producing the studio versions with Connor Sweeney, so we hope that taking them all the way back to basics will truly connect listeners with the messaging behind these songs."
Lyndsey continues, "We are so proud of Every House We Built, and we are excited to show 'Romanticise,' '42,' and 'You Like It Best When It Hurts' in a new light."

On their debut full-length Every House We Built, Exploring Birdsong step into their most vulnerable and personal chapter yet, shifting from conceptual storytelling to an intimate exploration of human connection.
At its core, the album reflects on relationships in all forms, friendships, family and romance, using the metaphor of houses to explore how bonds are carefully built over time but can fracture just as easily. This idea of fragile architecture runs throughout, with recurring imagery of homes, spaces and foundations giving the record a cohesive emotional thread.
Across the album, the band draw directly from lived experience, moving through themes of anxiety, toxic dynamics, inherited grief, longing and absence, while also capturing moments of warmth, hope and self-realisation. It balances emotional intensity with moments of restraint, shifting between vulnerability, anger and reflection.
Central to the record is the sense that even the strongest connections can reveal hidden cracks, leading to collapse and loss. Yet, it ultimately resists despair. Instead, it closes on a note of renewal, suggesting that despite everything that breaks down, there is still value in building, trusting and starting again.
Every House We Built is a deeply human debut about what we create with others, what we lose, and the quiet resilience it takes to rebuild.
Exploring Birdsong will embark on a headline UK tour this September, playing their biggest headline shows to date. The run of dates will see the band kick things off in Glasgow on September 23, before heading south for shows in London and Bristol and wrapping up the tour with a final date in Manchester on September 26.
