Antony Szmierek has always believed in signs from the universe. He's the kind of person to see a crisp packet float by and takes it as a message to text his ex. The former english teacher is often compared to the likes of Mike Skinner, Jarvis Cocker, and John Cooper Clarke. Antony's gigs have become something of a communion, with him leaping into crowds, learning people's names, and the room singing back fan favourites. Inspired by how much the crowd feels, Antony is frequently emotional at his shows. 

Manchester-born poet, writer and producer Antony Szmierek returns with his second album, Decoding Birdsong, just eighteen months after his critically acclaimed debut Service Station at the End of the Universe. 

Szmierek returns with a new body of work that signals a clear evolution in both sound and scope. Rooted in his personal touchstones within electronic music, the album pairs expansive, immersive production with his trademark razor-sharp lyricism.
