An old French peacock had told him 'Hell is other birds'

Thursday music corner: The Burning Hell are a Canadian indie-rock band formed by Mathias Kom in 2006. They have released nine albums, six EPs and eight singles, the most recent of which was Nigel the Gannet. The song refers to a New Zealand bird that the world’s media dubbed ‘the world’s loneliest’ after he was discovered living solo on Mana Island north of Wellington amidst a flock of concrete gannets designed to attract live birds to the island. The band is currently touring in Canada and is shortly departing on a tour of Europe and the UK.
