Taking self sufficient songbirds and melodic magpies under our frangible
wing Bird Records aims to nurture effeminate euphony of every species, vintage
or temperament. Apolitical - pro-musical. From the forlorn to the ferocious.
From the predatory to the precouscious. Bird Records is an independent
women's Institute fuelled by artistic freedom and the simple sound of
sonic sisterhood.
Magpahi - Tired And Weary Traveller
Falsetto fairy-tale folk songs and 16th century poems from the heart of the black and white
birds nest. The Bunyan on the ball of Vashti's foot from the frost bitten fells of supernatural
Lancashire - Alison Cooper is inspired by sepia storybooks, stray animals and flickering visions
of the industrial North. Taken from the forthcoming LP featuring Samandtheplants.
Ali Babki - Your Grey Eyes
Meet Anna, Ewa, Krystyna, Sylwia, Anna and Wanda. This six fold sisterhood of Polish pin-ups
took the Sopot music festival by storm under the direction of orchestrator Juliusz Loranc. One
of many indigenous flocks from Communist era Poland who failed to migrate beyond its climate.
Jane Weaver - Whispers Of Winter
Taking influences from Eastern European children's cinema, Germanic kunstmarchen, 70s television
music and early murmurs of 80s synth-pop, 'The Fallen By Watch Bird' is a new conceptual
pop project featuring seven chapters of cosmic aquatic folklore by songwriter Jane
Weaver (Misty Dixon). Taken from the forthcoming LP featuring Wendy Flower and Susan
Christie under the collective moniker Septieme Soeur.
Soledad Miranda - El Color Del Amor
Commonly recognised as Spanish Horrortica director Jess Franco's most infamous leading lady
this Seville born future Vampyros Lesbos actress released two sought after and lesser spotted
7" EPs containing the only 8 songs she ever recorded. Produced and marketed exclusively
in Spain - which was out of synch with here growing international readership - tracks like 'El
Color Del Amor' showed a huge potential which would have undoubtedly blossomed if it wasn't
for her untimely death on the road between Madrid and Portugal on 18th August 1970. Taken
from the forthcoming Soledad Miranda compendium.
Emma Tricca - Coming Into Los Angeles
Italian born songbird Emma Tricca is a natural product of all those miles travelled and all those
songs played. Elegant and unvarnished songs that will endure as much as those that inspired
Emma to pick up a guitar and start to sing in the first place. This exclusive track does not
appear on Emma's debut LP 'Minor White'.
Sidan - Gobaith
Translated as "Hope" this Cymraeg 45 by five peice teenage girl group rarely pops up outside
its native Wales. Originally formed as an extension of their school choir sessions the group
were spotted by long-running Welsh language independent label Sain (Sound) and released 2
EPs and an album alongside protest songs, comedy records and acid folk rarities by Meic
Stevens and Heather Jones. Taken from the forthcoming retrospective Sidan LP.
