Into the Instrumentals is a reimagined selection of songs from the Mothman and The Thunderbirds’ debut album Into the Hollow. Rather than simply releasing an instrumental version of the whole album, project frontman Alex Parkinson wanted the EP to be a unique listening experience. Hearing the tracks “Cloud Giant” and “Hollow Sun” without vocals will allow the listener to lose themselves in ethereal bliss, while the instrumental versions of “Agarthan Riders” and “Nomad” further solidify those tracks as absolute riff factories. It’s not all about instrumentals of course; the song “Squonk” has been stripped of its instrumentation to highlight those massive vocal harmonies.
Mothman and The Thunderbirds’ new EP Into the Instrumentals will be available on all streaming platforms on August 3rd, with digital copies available on Bandcamp for just $1.
Speaking on the origins of the project, Alex had this to say: "The band name was inspired by a binge-watch session of the beloved program Ancient Aliens. In one of the episodes, a host posited that the Mothman may be a Thunderbird. I thought to myself, ‘hey, Mothman and The Thunderbirds would be a really dumb, but great, band name,’ and the rest was history!"
