"The trashy and the avant-garde meet each other and dance in this music, which is loud, fast and hot." – The Washington Times

BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC was formed in 1980 as a low-volume side-project by Mission of Burma guitarist Roger Miller, with Erik Lindgren, Rick Scott and Martin Swope. Through the years, there have been a few mutations, and numerous performances, releases, and events that have been important to the group's evolution. Now on their 20th Anniversary Tour, BIRDSONGS recently released The Iridium Controversy on Cuneiform Records.

"Fantastically detailed, intricate stuff that gets better with each listen. One of the most intricate, melodic and downright gorgeous records you're like to have heard." – BBC

"Sounds like a party in a Cubist roadhouse." – NY Times

In 2003, the band released their 11th album, The Iridium Controversy, on Cuneiform Records, which the Alternative Press called "a perfect blend of ideas, ability and teamwork."
