‘birds’ is the latest track from Toronto’s Cam Kahin. It’s a thundering track, which just so happens to be his heaviest song yet, both in terms of sound and lyricism. “It’s a four-and-a-half-minute panic attack, collapsing into and out of a screaming, sludgy breakdown,” he says. “My darkest and most unapologetic song to date.” Haunting, isolated guitars introduce us to the song, before Kahin’s voice slowly guides us toward the chugging of distorted, dissonant chords and his own metal-adjacent, anguished screams. Be sure to experience this magnificent composition alongside its cinematic music video. Cam Kahin has announced his new EP, When It’s All Over, which is due for release on April 6th, 2022. -Dan Peeke.
