Group A.D. return with a brand new 7” and once again we’ll have signed or unsigned copies. Available to pre order now.

Group A.D. return with ‘Bird of Parallax’, their second
offering of new music in 2026 and the follow up to their
acclaimed debut EP ‘Colour Space Transform’.
Following a run of sold out gigs in Leeds, Manchester
and London, as well as support slots with English
Teacher, ‘Bird of Parallax’ arrives as part of a double A-
side single with second track ‘Sliinky’ following in
October.
Group A.D. is a brand new Leeds based project. The
name stands for The Group For Action & Dance, and
their music sits somewhere between dubbed out,
psychedelic no-wave and spaghetti-western orchestral
maximalism.
“Everything they’ve done has been excellent so far.
Moody, no-wave magic. Absolutely love it!” - Lauren
Laverne, BBC 6Music
“Amazing, I predict big things for Group A.D.” - Emily
Pilbeam, BBC 6Music
“A cerebral auditory experience also tailor-made for the
stage; extemporized, off-kilter, cavernous and but
always retaining rhythm and an undulating
groove.” Clash Magazine

Celebrate on release day at Project House , October 30th
