Bird Head Son is a 2009 album by poet Anthony Joseph & The Spasm Band.

It was recorded in just two days in March 2008 in Meudon, France, and produced by Antoine Rajon.

The album features an expanded Spasm Band line up, a septet instead of the quartet that recorded the previous album, as well as guest performers Keziah Jones, Defunkt founder Joseph Bowie, David Neerman and Jamika Ajalon.

A three-track EP, La Diablese, was released by Heavenly Sweetness in July 2008.

Joseph's third collection of poetry, also entitled Bird Head Son, was published by Salt Publishing on 7 February 2009 to coincide with the UK release of the album, and features all the lyrics from the album.
