The semi-spoken wisdom of The Aerial Maps’ frontman Adam Gibson continues to delight with new project The Ark-Ark Birds’ debut outing — his unflinchingly focused and honest gaze honed in on our landscape and the minutiae of Aussie life in a manner that gleans deep truths about us as both people and society.

Long Time Dead affirms and uplifts, while The Years When Nobody Cared What You Did aches for a simpler time yet transcends mere nostalgia. Thought-provokingly beautiful.
