The self titled Death of the Neighbourhood album from the prolific songwriter Stephen Jones aka Babybird. A stunning 32 tracks of fucked up vocal distortion, tear-to-the-eye ballads and evocative string laden instrumentals. Death of the Neighbourhood is a two chord manic maniac messianic monster throttling death by the neck before giving it the kiss of life and making MUSIC, “the most beautiful fucking thing in the goddamn world”. Lovingly packaged in a glossy double digi-pack.

“An album of awesome beauty and freakishness” – Subba Cultch

“A beguiling blend of dusty Americana, alternative hip-hop and leftfield electronica…” – The Crack

“Beuatiful and disturbing in equal measures” – Cmu

“A provocative, fierce and disorienting record…at times awash with cinematic beauty, at turns a heightened blitz of face rupturing noise” – Clash Magazine

“There’s a classic pop approach in there…somewhere…all skuzzed up and toyed with. I dig this LP…Repeat listens are required for sure” -Electric Roulette

“It’s aninspiration to see that Stephen Jones hasn’t been eaten up by the music machine and is still out there making brilliant relevant urgent music…A record that needs to be heard to be believed” – Geek Pie

“One of Britains most gifted songwriters” – Music OHM
