Out Now: Haunting Atmospheres to Soothe the Soul – Dorothy Bird’s ‘Meteorites’
METEORITES
Leading with atmospheric delicacy, Dorothy Bird makes music for heavy thinkers to escape into. Music is her way of sharing joy, pain, and everything in between, with the hope that it resonates with those who need it most.
Her songs soothe the soul and welcome a moment of calm and freedom from the chaos of the world. Dorothy's songs present haunting atmospheres, a blend of electronic and acoustic instruments and captivating beats, alongside beautifully pure vocals that softly and melodically whisper poetic references on life.
Already compared to Beth Gibbons and Kate Bush, Dorothy Bird’s sound is unique and “characteristically individual” – Neil March, Fresh on the Net.
With ringing endorsements from BBC Introducing, Tom Robinson’s Fresh On The Net & BBC6music Mixtape and Mersey Radio, the Berlin and Liverpool-based Art-Pop singer-songwriter has released four solo EPs and an album.
The first release from the forthcoming second album ‘Meteorites’ is being released on November 1st 2024 with the album being released in the spring of 2025.
Dorothy Bird Has said of the track:-
As we live our lives, sometimes we’re hit by meteorites… memories that seem to come from nowhere. What seems to be important now might vaporise over time, while other long-forgotten memories or feelings might suddenly strike us. No logic or planning can prevent this… the memories
come regardless of what we're doing at that moment. And we owe it to ourselves to live a full life, no matter what hits us.
Dorothy Bird features on vocals, composition, piano/synth, production on the track and is supported by Jon Lawton on guitars, production and Ryan Mallows on drums. The track was written predominantly by Julia Fiebelkorn aka Dorothy Bird with credits also going to Jonathan Michael Lawton. It was Recorded and Mixed by Jon Lawton at Crosstown Studios and was Mastered by Pete Maher.
