Good Flying Birds

Good Flying Birds is a piercingly loud guitar-pop band from the American Midwest. The project began in December 2023 with a series of 4-track cassette recordings and stop-motion videos uploaded to YouTube under the name “Talulah God” — accompanied by a chaotic, GIF-strewn website. In the months that followed, new songs were released regularly, eventually catching the attention of punk and DIY label head Martin Meyer. In January 2025, “Talulah’s Tape” appeared on Rotten Apple — a compilation of home recordings from 2020 to 2024. The album showcased a broad love of independent guitar music, songwriting, and a twee-punk aesthetic. The release found favor in the underground scene, received radio play, and sold 300 cassette copies in less than a month. The band rode that momentum and quickly earned a reputation as a live act. That attracted interest from labels — they ultimately signed with Carpark and Smoking Room. Together the labels reissued “Talulah’s Tape” in October 2025, this time on vinyl and for streaming.
