Exploring Birdsong's new single Spy In The House Of Love was inspired by Lynsey Ward's spontaneous discovery of the 1954 novel of the same name, though "there is actually very little that the book and our song have in common"...
Exploring Birdsong have released a new single, Spy In The House Of Love.
If you’re not yet familiar with the alt-pop trio, you might have heard vocalist Lynsey Ward’s voice at some point if you’ve ever seen Sleep Token live as she also performs with them as part of backing vocal trio Espera. There’s a whole other side to her artistry with Exploring Birdsong, whose new single is taken from their forthcoming debut album Every House We Built. The album will be released via Long Branch Records on June 26.
“I came across the book ‘A Spy in the House of Love’ by accident one day, and immediately felt compelled by how the phrase had organised a lot of messy feelings while being in the throes of a heavy break-up,” says Lynsey. “There is actually very little that the book and our song have in common, but discovering it did catalyse a great deal of focus creatively and personally. Everyone at some stage has felt confused or betrayed in heartbreak, and we are far from the first to write a song about it. It is quite new territory for us, though!”

A Spy In The House Of Love follows the previously released singles You Like It Best When It Hurts, 42 and Romanticise.
