Blackbird Blackbird is a psychedelic-pop outfit from San Francisco, CA. Mikey S, the sole songwriter and bedroom producer behind the project, is known (according to Pitchfork) for writing “short but also pretty sweet” pop songs with killer hooks.
Mikey’s inspiring pop sensibility is channeled through a dreamy landscape of sound that is as hypnotic as it is catchy, as upbeat as it is ambient. In March 2010, Blackbird Blackbird teamed up for a debut EP with Arcade Sound Ltd— home to artists such as Memoryhouse, Millionyoung, and Teen Daze. With his debut “Happy High EP” released as a free digital download, Mikey S. stood out as a performer not afraid to push the envelope with his creativity, personality, and nostalgic lyrics.
Blackbird Blackbird has been considered as a major player in the up-and-coming underground indie movement due to the exponential growth he has shown on The Hype Machine, Gorilla Vs Bear, and Pitchfork. Blackbird Blackbird continues to swiftly produce high-quality and prolific pop gems perfectly fitting for TV shows, film-scores, and even soundtracks.
