Career as Snowbird

Snowbird debuted with a concert in June 2009 at Union Chapel, Islington.[3]

The band recorded a cover of Pink Floyd's "Goodbye Blue Sky" that year, which appeared on The Wall Re-Built! compilation, a tribute to The Wall given away free with the December 2009 issue of Mojo. It was followed by a version of the British nursery rhyme "The North Wind Doth Blow" on 2010 compilation Sing Me to Sleep, Indie Lullabies.

In winter 2013, Snowbird announced the upcoming release of Moon in January 2014.[4] Guest musicians on the album included Ed O'Brien and Philip Selway of Radiohead, Eric Pulido and McKenzie Smith of Midlake, Paul Gregory of Lanterns on the Lake, and Jonathan Wilson.[5]

The album came packaged with a second disc titled Luna, consisting of remixes of each song by RxGibbs.
