Bluebird, is a gorgeous step forward into the Tailor Birds world – a chance to dream, a chance to wander through the mist, to float through a world of light and dark, as we then wake up from our dreams to the beautiful real life crisp birdsong. Richer, dreamier, perhaps even darker and more vibrant than her last recordings, Bluebird is as wild as the place it was recorded in – a converted henhouse in Ireland, a former home of goats & chickens.
This song is the first single of 9 beauties releasing monthly through the year before 2027 sees the release of the stunning 3 part album.
This song features Tailor Birds’ creator, Sophie’s stunning vocals and her trademark live looped electric 5 string dreamy violin at the core of the sound, and features some stunning guests including Vinod Prasanna and Paya Lehane on flutes, Benjamin Smith on guitars, our long standing drummer, Daniel Brates on percussion, plus a guest vox shimmery moment from Terence who built the henhouse, and who also, alongside his wife opened his home for Sophie to record this album in. Bluebird also features plant music biosonification from the various studio sounds converted into electrical currents, including the steps of the ladder that was hanging out in the studio, some aloe vera, and a paper birch tree. Plus there’s the stunning foley art in the form of bird song, dog sounds, handwriting glimmers, and some smashed glass too. Recorded in the converted hen house studio, the song was then sent to our beautiful guest musicians across the globe, before the song was then threaded together
Dream folk musical wonder, electric violin magic, plant music biosonification, Tailor Birds has always tried to experiment with wondrous concepts, most recently recording the electrical currents of the studio walls via her plant music work. Live shows and her latest recordings aim to connect us all to a sound deeper than the earth, to help the listener regain a sense of calm and peace in a world of chaos, whilst also inspiring intrigue and wonderment. Reminiscent of the work of Nick Cave and Enya, and sometimes described as music for a video game not created yet, Tailor Birds’ performances have filtered through wild community experimental festivals throughout Europe, and in Australia from down in the Tarkine forest in Tasmania up to the rainforests in far north Queensland. This music sits on the edge of mainstream, but also fits into a world of its’ own.
