“Swedish indie-pop band Birds on Clouds specialize in a dreamy, scenic sound” … “This seven-piece out of Malmö shows some serious songwriting chops here.” Mike Mineo, Obscure Sound (US)

“Nyligen släppta ep:n Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes är värd din uppmärksamhet“, Hymn.se (Swedish)

“a rosy twee-pop hue”, “strolls casually to gentle bass grooves and sunlit piano clang”, “Lush, jolting strings adorn the sweet vocal shrill”, Swede and Sour

“debut EP Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes is a dreamy indie pop delight full of gorgeous songs tinged with melancholy and woe”

“What If is a lilting lament that floats like a fragile feather in a mild breeze. It’s bleak, emotional and totally, utterly, completely life affirming.

It’s the sound of hearts breaking, the sound of tears forming, the sound of souls shattering. It’s not the song to play at a party but it should be your go to track when you’re at your most reflective, when the weight of the world is getting you down and you need a moment to stop and take stock.”, The Devil Has The Best Tuna (UK)
