Οι Blue Birds παρουσιάζουν τον τρίτο κατά σειρά δίσκο τους και με την πρώτη ακρόασή του, σκέφτεται κανείς πως παρόλο που τα συγκεκριμένα «πτηνά» αρνούνται πεισματικά να πετάξουν, έχουν ετοιμάσει ένα δίσκο προορισμένο για πολύ υψηλές πτήσεις.

"Blue Birds Refuse To Fly" present their third album, "Xenomorph Angel" (i.e. an alien angel). Straight after the first listening, makes one ponder that even if these "birds" stubbornly refuse to fly, this album is intended for high flights.
12 well written tracks intended for an outer space travel, sometimes with dancing and sometimes with tender melodies, draped with the sweet voice of Eva - one of the best and most promising female voices in the Greek scene.
It is a game in colours and light through the melodic compositions of Kyriakos, that in some parts are tender and ethereal, where in some other parts are powerful and very intense. "Xenomorph Angel" is an album that hides lots of secrets despite its minimalist simplicity.
The introduction is an enchantingly simple track called "Crashed" and then comes "Morning Star" – the point where we begin to understand what this album is about...
Dark Electro and Pop sounds, discreetly reminiscent of the beautiful past of "Wasteland", while in - I dare say - brilliant "Want you there for me", Blue Birds touch softly upon our soul with their blue wings, evoking intense emotions:
«When the words fail to restrain your anger, you want me there to be
When I lose my voice and begin to stutter, I want you there for me»
This flight continues, but in no steady height, with the absolutely danceable "Burning" and "Das Marchen" – the album highlight- both taking us to the highest point, only to lose height with the splendid "h.e.a.t." and the erotic "Oxygen" – with some marvellous lyrics written by George P.
«You are oxygen to me, my breath and my desire, the salt into my sea, the earth into my wire, my curse, my secret wish…»
The album ends with the joint vocals of George and Eva in "Elegy" giving us the sense that we are at last home, finally reaching our destination after a beautiful wandering.
We recommend to fasten your seat belt and listen to this album in high volume since "Xenomorph Angel" is a feast. A feast for all the people gone, for all the people not with us any more, for all the people that will come... A feast for the travel itself, regardless of the destination...
