The power-trio have put out three glittering full lengths in their time together, with their 2024 release ‘<strong><em>The Gloss</em></strong>’ being a personal favourite.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Their latest album ‘<strong><em>Cost of Living Adjustment</em></strong>’ arrived May 2026 via <strong>Fire Talk Records</strong>, another vibe-y collection of smart art-punk numbers. I spoke with <strong>Evan</strong> and <strong>Ben</strong> over <strong>Zoom</strong> ahead of the release of the new record, where we touched on playing with <strong>METZ</strong> in Berlin and the rumour of a trip to <strong>Berghain</strong>, as well as creativity, having your ideas pinched by <strong>The Strokes</strong> and the Manchester baggy sound. Stick around till the end too for some real choice Manchester chat.</p><p><br></p><p>If you like the episode, let us know - follow us on your favourite streaming platform and follow<strong> Birthday Cake For Breakfast </strong>on all the socials.
