London progressive alt pop outfit Exploring Birdsong have today announced their forthcoming debut album, Every House We Built, set for release on June 26, 2026 via Long Branch Records.

Featuring previously released tracks 42 and Romanticise, the record sees the band turn inwards, drawing from lived experiences to explore the complexities of relationships spanning friendships, family and romance. Using houses as a central metaphor, the album reflects on how connections are carefully built with intention yet can unexpectedly collapse, leaving behind the lingering weight of something once thought permanent.

The announcement is accompanied by the release of the band’s new single, ‘You Like It Best When It Hurts’.

Speaking of the track, vocalist Lynsey Ward shares, "You Like It Best… actually began its life as a completely different song, but easily found a way to take the shape that it has now. For as long as we’ve been a band we’ve been proud that our sound has such broad shoulders, so we felt we could really push our influences from heavy music out into the open with this one and create the heaviest Birdsong music to date. Lyrically, it is written about observing a type of person that we have all come across- self-sabotaging and self destructive almost to the point where it seems that they can’t -or don’t want to- break the cycle. More new territory for us, as we’re now equipped to convey anger and aggression convincingly-it felt completely natural to write a bit of a love letter to heavy music whilst channeling our own frustrations."

Exploring Birdsong will embark on a headline UK tour this September. The run of dates will see the band kick things off in Glasgow on 23rd September, before heading south for shows in London and Bristol and wrapping up the tour with a final date in Manchester on 26th September.
