The Birthday Letters

Last updated: 8 hours ago

The Birthday Letters is the music of Joseph Hughes, an English singer songwriter based in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Once described by Stereogum as having a ‘soft spoken theatricality to his delivery’, he has never lived it down since.

‘The debut record from England’s The Birthday Letters absolutely astonished me. A fantastic expression of inventive production decisions, honest songwriting and gorgeous soundscapes. Human Beauty was every bit one of my favourite underground albums of 2020 - and deserves your attention’.
- Slow Motion Panic Masters

‘Hughes' s vocal aesthetic reminds me a bit of a blending of Death Cab's Ben Gibbard and Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan which is meant as a supreme compliment. Awww, nice to have musical gems like this to marvel in.’
- American Pancake

‘Simple indie rock perfection’
- The Darkside Reviews

‘Built to soundtrack contemplative early-aughts indie films, or to make your own life feel like one’
- Stereogum
