In an interview with James Damion in , Bird notes that Those Mockingbirds "were going to run the risk of diluting what we had accomplished in our own eyes," adding that "I started to get into more electronic based music[;] bands like Massive Attack, Air and LCD Soundsystem were all pivotal in opening my eyes."[2] Their first release was a rendition of the song "Very Ape," for the tribute album Mint 400 Records Presents Nirvana In Utero. He performed at the North Jersey Indie Rock Festival on 23 September 2017, and the song "A Cool Island Song" appears on the compilation, NJ / NY Mixtape. aBIRD also made a rendition of the song "Playground Love" with CK Vibes for the compilation At the Movies.
