BLACK LEATHER BIRDS is the solo project of A.G. Syjuco, best known as the producer and composer behind the award-winning experimental rock/art band Jack of None. Launched during the 2020 pandemic, Black Leather Birds is A.G.’s personal space for exploring new musical ideas and pushing creative boundaries beyond his collaborative work.
Syjuco has released Nothing Ever Grows Here, a new single under his solo moniker Black Leather Birds. The track is a dissonant, noisy, and haunting piece built on harmonic guitar feedback and a heavily distorted, grinding bass line, anchored by dual spoken word vocals performed by A.G. and his wife, Mica Syjuco. The result is an abrasive sonic landscape that sits in sharp contrast to the quiet intimacy of the vocals.
