Bandcamp – Electronic album of the year 2021. Swirling layers of OST-style sound design, dreamy choir vocals and traditional Chinese folk combine across eight dynamic and transportive tracks on Birdy Island, the latest album by Beijing-based producer/artist, Howie Lee. On Birdy Island Lee's intricate brand of traditional pan-asian exploration meets experimental bass weight sound via stripped-back UK Grime sonics and ceremonial taoist music. "Morphing Chinese traditional music with bass, Chicago footwork and AI-manipulated birdsong. It's quite a feat to sound this ancient and futuristic simultaneously." - The Guardian
"The album presents a world where flute and guanzi find common ground with choral vocals, ambient and AI- manipulated birdsongs." - Vinyl Factory
"There has never been a record that sounds like this. And, very possibly, never will be again" - Bandcamp
"At once fine-grained and expansive, Lee's work combines traditional Chinese music and historical references with wild electronic experimentation" - Pitchfork, 7.6
'Island Birdy' samples Bollywood vocals, 'Foreign Flowers' has hints of warped drum & bass and 'Feather Signifier' is steeped in jazz fusion....Lee's most organic work has plenty of diverse influences"- Resident Advisor
