Birdvox

Introducing Birdvox and their debut album Shamming The Drama. Twelve big-sky songs of joy, rage, connection, grief, empowerment, the natural world, and peace for the times we’re in. Political disco; skewed-folk floor fillers; avian electronica; hymns to humanity… the honest and cathartic noise of the multi-tasking artist-producers who made this record, equally and collectively.

Birdvox is Sarah Hayes (vocals, synth, flute, drum programming), a founding member of Glasgow’s beloved Admiral Fallow; Inge Thomson (vocals, accordion, field recordings, drum programming), a longtime collaborator with the multi-award-winning songwriter and storyteller Karine Polwart; Jenny Sturgeon (vocals, guitars, keyboards, drum programming), a SAY Award-nominated solo artist, and singer with alt-folk mainstays Salt House; and Charlotte Printer (vocals, bass, percussion, drum programming) who’s previously performed with revived Scottish pop icons Altered
Images, and Loyle Carner-collaborator Joesef. The album was produced by Birdvox and Peter Brewis of Prince-favourites Field Music.

Singing in Scots, Shetland dialect, old Norn and English, Birdvox distil their individual influences into a unique musical point of view and a joyful live experience.

“Perhaps the standout event of the whole festival… exciting and energetic… at the intersection of boundary-pushing art and extremely listenable, melody-based pop”
(The Skinny)

Shamming The Drama is new music pulled from pasts that never met. It’s post-folk, post-pop, post-pigeonhole. It’s the sum of all its parts. It’s what happens when you rewrite the recipe, shake the kaleidoscope, and make a record only these four people could make, together.
