Kings of the Quarter Mile fly Bird in a Hurricane through old-school indie-rock weather

Kings of the Quarter Mile’s Bird in a Hurricane arrives on 2 July with a strong image and a very band-like credit sheet. The song was written by Pete Juzl and arranged and performed by Kings of the Quarter Mile, with Brian Richards on bass, David Smaylen on drums, Jenny Curtis on backing vocals and guitar, Stuart Benson Newman on keyboards and Juzl on vocals and guitar. That kind of credit detail matters because it gives the track an old-fashioned ensemble weight: not a faceless upload, but a group of players putting a song into shape together. The title suggests motion against impossible weather, which is classic guitar-pop territory when handled with enough feeling. Bird in a Hurricane sounds like indie rock built from melody, resilience and the slightly foolish bravery of singing while the wind is already winning.
