The fourth single from our upcoming album feels particularly timely with a lyric that looks at where the personal intersects with the wider world.

The third single from our upcoming album is out now. Produced by Woodstock sonic guru Chris Maxwell, "Heaven Is Mine Now" is a big-screen, cinematic exploration of matters both current and timeless.

The second single from Two Dark Bird's Fifth Album "Dreamers of the Golden Dream", due out early 2025. This epic opens with a hungover caveman in prehistoric France and ends inside a Bob Seger fever-dream….

Heyho! Made a little lyric video for the new single "Dreamers of the Golden Dream."

Two Dark Birds will be at The Pines on Wednesday May 8.

Good people! Please join us Saturday March 30 for “Mark Donato and Steve Koester: Singing at Graveside.”

A full band scenario featuring Steve Koester, Jason Mills, Josh Roy Brown, Tyler Wood and Derek Nievergelt.

Koester "The High Highs, The Low Lows", originally released in 2003 on Pitch-A-Tent Records is available for the first time today via Bandcamp.

Can't stop thinking about Tom Verlaine. He's likely my favorite electric guitar player -- slippery, elusive, enigmatic, playful, serpentine…

Super psyched to be playing with The Hold Steady on Jan 28 at Music Hall of Williamsburg.

The video for “Tributary” from our EP Porous is out now! Directed by our pal Scott Marshall, who has previously directed music videos by Guided by Voices, Dinosaur Jr., and his fantastic band Chavez (amongst many many other amazing endeavors).

Porous is the fifth release from Two Dark Birds, the critically acclaimed band from the Catskills. This four song EP, a collaboration between singer-songwriter Steve Koester and producer / dummer J.B. Mills, is a distinct departure from the band’s previous more folk- leaning forays

Check out “Two Stars,” the first single from the Porous EP, via this moshed video.

Directed by David McNamara and edited by the team at FarleyPierson, the video was shot at Zen Mountain Monastery as well as the Old Glenford Church.
