BIRDS AND BEASTS RECORDS
Launched to release music written and recorded by musician/songwriter/producer - Leo Brazil.
Birds and Beasts Records is a new label distributing digital and physical releases and merchandise, promoting live events and pitching music for synchronisation in media.
​
Birds and Beasts Records operates out of Leo Brazil's studio in West Yorkshire and the first release on the label is a session recorded live in the studio in collaboration with blues band 'Wadcutter Blues'. The song 'Tiger Inside' is a song Leo Brazil wrote in 2004 so this new recording marks twenty years of independently writing and creating music.
​
During this time Leo has recorded two solo albums, three albums as 'Leo Brazil and his Twitch', two albums as 'Birds and Beasts' and a variety of singles and other releases. Some of this back catalogue will be re-released on the new label alongside new releases.
​
Leo's current projects include; 'Alone' - a collection of mellow acoustic folk, 'Bone Wars' - a new psychedelic rock quartet inspired by dinosaurs, 'Zoodelic Psychestra' - an evolving electronica collective and 'Leo Brazil's Amazing Animal A-Z' a series of songs/books that teach about the natural world through a menagerie of styles and influences.
"... a distinctive sound. Inspired by ’60s psychedelia and folk...a nuanced balance of gentle acoustics, sizzling synths and electric guitars."
"...the songs are so memorable I feel like I've known them all forever...energy, passion, tight harmonies..."
"...the music is great, it’s music that you can wig out to. It’s music that makes you smile..."
"...fascinating music...a cornucopia of genres all thrown gleefully into the stylistic melting pot and glued together by a beautiful concept...a high energy record which demands and rewards repeated listens."
"...unique lyrical swagger...psychedelic folk, fused with cosmic and disco pop...fun, clever and unique..."

"...well-placed confidence in the songwriting department...colourful and joyous...groove filled, thumping and purposeful."
"...chock-full of suitably crunchy riffs and addictive hooks that are irresistibly uplifting..."
"...really something special...seriously infectious, spaghetti western soundscapes..."
