Small bio:
Les Big Byrd is a Swedish psychedelic and alternative rock band formed in Stockholm in 2011 by Joakim Åhlund and Frans Johansson. Across a series of acclaimed releases between 2011 and 2026, Les Big Byrd evolved from fuzzed-out psych explorers into masters of cinematic, dreamlike rock music filled with glowing synths, cosmic textures and late-night urban melancholy. Often cited among Sweden’s most adventurous contemporary rock acts, combining hypnotic Krautrock rhythms, lush synths, and shimmering guitars,their collaborations with producers like Pete Kember and Anton Newcombe underline their bridge between classic psychedelia and modern independent music.
After posting a Pell Mell anthology back in March, I decided to turn my attention towards a more recent band who I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to since I heard their first release. This collection comprises of 1 track from all 5 studio album releases, plus a few tracks from EP/single releases.
I was sorely tempted to pick 2 tracks from each album which would have resulted in a much longer anthology, if this one turns out to be popular maybe I could post a 2nd volume in the future. Favourite album for me is a tough choice, but 2022's "Eternal Light Brigade" just about wins out. As usual, origin of each track & year of release is tagged in the music files and noted in the download folder. Hope you all enjoy this latest anthology. Cheers!
