March Fires, the fourth studio album from Perth's Birds of Tokyo, came out through EMI on 1 March 2013 in Australia, North America and Europe, and it's the sound of a band that has decided to go big and stay big. It was their second major-label record, after the 2010 self-titled album that brought "Plans", and their first without founding bassist Anthony Jackson, who left in 2011; Ian Berney took over the bass. Ian Kenny's voice soars over walls of guitar and keys from Adam Spark, with Adam Weston's drums pushing everything toward the rafters.
"This Fire" and "Lanterns" led the way, and no song got more Australian airplay in the first half of 2013 than "Lanterns", which went triple platinum. Reviews were warm, the album gave the band their first number-one on the ARIA Albums Chart and went gold within four weeks, and it reached number 26 in New Zealand, their first chart placing abroad.
