Quiet the Room

Lullaby in February

After meeting in 1992 as members of St Etienne's touring band, Debsey Wykes (Dolly Mixture) and Paul Kelly (East Village) turned their shared love of the soft rock and sunshine pop of the 1960s and 1970s into the now-legendary Birdie. In the summer of 1998 Birdie recorded their debut album "Some Dusty" with the estimable Brian O'Shaughnessy (Denim, Moose, The Clientele). It's a deep and beautiful album, with melodic & sophisticated (yet understated) arrangements providing the perfect setting for Debsey's sweet and soulful soft-pop vocals. Add in gorgeous string arrangements from The High Llamas' Sean O'Hagan and you have all the makings of a pop classic. Subsequent singles and a second album cemented their reputation as top-notch purveyors of pop, but family life and other artistic pursuits called and Birdie has only been sporadically active since 2001. Their brief but perfectly-formed discography has become the stuff of legend, though, charming savvy pop fans around the world with its timeless songcraft and flawless production. Summer 2024 will see the long overdue vinyl reissue of "Some Dusty" on US indie label Slumberland Records, returning this classic album to much-needed availability in deluxe remastered form with a deluxe 60s-style laminated heavy card jacket and a fine insert with rare photos and liner notes by Chickfactor’s Gail O’Hara.

Everyone Who's Not In Love With You Is Wrong

You keep saying we’re no longer kids 
But can I still have this
Can I still dream
What age do I kill that part of me
I can only hope you’re all mine
But you can only love the pretty side of me
I’ve been writing a lot
But I still don’t know how to say 
You only love the things pinned to the ground
My lungs collapse
I’ve lost all sound
I forget all the words

Powder

If I add more to your weight will you still float away
The bolder I get the longer you stay
I show off hoping you’ll stay 
I show off walking through flames 
Melting in front of you
If you want me to draw, I need to know who you are
And why you want to destroy him 
Do you want to destroy me too
I show off showing my counter intuition phase
I can’t believe I’m melting away
I’ll show you can put your weight on my shoulders too
I just want to be swirling into you
