GREATEST SINGLE YOU’VE NEVER HEARD: “Worthy Girl” by KILLS BIRDS

Kills Birds began as a secret project between vocalist Nina Ljeti – an award-winning Bosnian-Canadian filmmaker, now living in L.A. – and guitarist Jacob Loeb but in 2017, evolved into a full-fledged band with the addition of Fielder Thomas (bass) and Bosh Rothman (drums). They immediately drew attention for their electrifying live performances, their jagged guitar-driven melodies and slow-burning dynamics made even more explosive by Ljeti’s urgent lyricism and raw stage presence. Among the band’s earliest fans was producer – and KRO Records founder – Justin Raisen, who not only signed Kills Birds to his growing label roster, but opted to produce their remarkable debut album as well. Recorded nearly live over an intense eight-hour session, KILLS BIRDS expertly captures the band’s on-stage energy, its feral, unfettered power fueled throughout by the extraordinary intensity of Ljeti’s striking songcraft.

“The album is very personal,” Ljeti says. “As a whole, it has no concept, but each song is reflective of what I struggled with, and continue to struggle with. Feelings of insecurity, anxiety, inadequacy, and ultimately love. Love is the main driving force behind everything I create.”
