You'll Be Fine (Radio Edit)

Bird Machine are Luke and Jenna Grbin, a pair of lovers from Geelong, Australia, and Hamilton, New Zealand. Combining distinct musical sensibilities, their current batch of songs reminisces on early 90s alt-rock and dreampop with inflections of folk, wrapped up in plush pop melodies. Their jointly penned lyrics, at once commentative and introspective, shimmer within layered vocals above a swirling tapestry of guitars, keys, and syncopated beats. Their songs are written, performed, recorded, and produced by the two in a little bedroom in the New Zealand suburbs.

 

Both husband and wife gained an appreciation for music at a very young age. His parents’ CD collection was formative of Luke’s musical background. Before ever holding one, he was always fascinated with the guitar, and his first felt natural in his hands. Even as a child, music was transcendental and inspirational. Today, Luke records music and plays live to hopefully make others feel something too. Jenna was singing, songwriting, and performing regularly as a child. Since her teens, she has taken her voice around New Zealand on tour and celebrated her roots in a Māori kapa-haka (performing arts) groups. She’s been writing songs that move people ever since.

 

Today, the two challenge each other’s songwriting and compositional conventions to synthesise their distinct styles. With an array of written songs up their sleeves, the duo plan to release their debut EP or album in the summer of 2022/23. With their deft backing band behind them, Bird Machine will bring their live show to audiences in the second half of 2022.

'Our Kind' is the brand new single from duo Bird Machine. A commentary on new media, on changing algorithms designed to keep our attention, 'Our Kind' is a poignant song that asks us to question how we consume media.

There next single is set to release August/September 2022
