Prior to the release of a deluxe sounding four-way cassette split between Motion Sickness of Time Travel , Aloonaluna , Je Suis Le Petit Chevalier , and New Zealand's Birds of Passage , the Hamilton-based label Cooper Cult -- who specialise in ultra-limited cassettes and lathes -- will be releasing a "pre-cassingle" from the rad Birds of Passage. B-side "In Heaven" is cracked, distant drone, with Alicia's hovering, ethereal vocals threatening to disappear in smoke and hiss, and the song's a cover of a song from Eraserhead FYI. Tape available soon [...]
è uscito per Monotreme Records alla fine di Ottobre, dopo una serie di EP molto promettenti, l’album di esordio di Stumbleine , producer con base a Bristol che si muove tra shoegaze ed elettronica; sonorità con le quali qualche anno fa, lontano da ogni hype, si cimentava Ulrich Schnauss in un album come Goodbye, e che troviamo qui aggiornate, e proposte in chiave chillwave - vale a dire con tracce vocali vicine all’R&B, con quei tipici beat che smuovono ritmi acquatici, e con quella propensione, caratteristica della maggior parte dei dischi di settore di questi ultimi anni, [...]
It's been exactly six weeks since we had the pleasure of showcasing Brother Sun, Sister Moon's "Ghosts of Barry Mill," and now the pair is back with a crisply minted remix of "All You Need," the closing track from their self-titled release. Where the original pulls the listener through patches of leafy textures thronged with shoegaze touchpoints aplenty, duo member Gareth Munday's more sparse and measured interpretation innocently airs its fragile moments and exposes the underlying and surprisingly angular structure. The remix indirectly brings the piece back closer into line with singer Alicia Merz's work under the name Birds of Passage [...]
prima pubblicazione di Cooper Cult è stata la settimana scorsa l’album omonimo dei neozelandesi Brother Sun, Sister Moon - si tratta di una collaborazione tra Alicia Merz (autrice di due album molto belli, nel 2011, con il nome Birds Of Passage ) e Gareth Munday: la prima porta in dote il suo drone-folk scheletrico, il secondo completa con un’elettronica discreta che si spinge talvolta in territori post-dubstep stile Mount Kimbie o Flying Lotus. S/T by Brother Sun, Sister Moon
Brother Sun, Sister Moon fuses the progressive, sample-friendly house of Gareth Munday, aka Roof Light , and the vocal-lead atmospherics of Alicia Merz's Birds of Passage project to create a premiere album that fully owns its contradictory natures in a way that plays into to the strengths of both artists individually, as well as their newfound alchemy. Nothing here feels wantonly experimental or reductive narrow. Through their own intentional magnetism, everything falls in its place or just far enough out of it to intrigue. Though many of the tracks fully capitalize on Merz's distant, lilting vocals, a [...]
Delicado encanto. Na nota de imprensa de "Dear and Unfamiliar", lê-se ser este uma espécie de viagem feita de sons pop, enegrecidos, minimais, cinemáticos e experimentais. Ao ouvido, diria no entanto que se sente em particular a delicadeza atmosférica da voz da neozelandesa Alicia Merz, responsável pelo projecto Birds of Passage. Assim como se sente o encanto proporcionado pelo acompanhamento musical desenvolvido pelo português Leonardo Rosado (aka Subterminal); etéreo; sombrio; às vezes estranhamente relaxante. "Dear and Unfamiliar" é um longo e bucólico planar sobre paisagens algo desoladoras, sem ponta de esperança de sobreviver; são paisagens tristes, cheias de amores falhados. É [...]
Already released on CD and LP in December, Bathetic has now stepped up to give Birds of Passage 's magical Winter Lady the cassette treatment. The sophomore album by New Zealand native Alicia Merz is a quiet masterpiece of minimalistic, indeed very wintry and otherworldly musings that are carried by Merz's eerie, reverberated voice, sparsely accompanied by piano and cello, almost indiscernible field recordings and slow, cold drones, evoking images of snow-covered landscapes that are undoubtedly beautiful but leave a feeling of loneliness and loss. Winter Lady is out now [...]
This time last year I did a post where I basically talk (write) aloud to myself about the albums I put as my favourite of the year 12 months ago and what I think about that now, invariably you’re late in discovering a few albums and you’re tastes change over time. My list of albums from 2009 changed quite a lot when I redid it in 2010 ( check here ). Though, after saying all, that, I've decided my list of 25 albums for 2010 (which can be found here ) is actually still highly reflective of what I [...]
Back in April I shared a video for a live version of an absolutely stunning live track by Alicia Merz whose recordings under the name Birds of Passage have reduced me to stunned silence numerous times this past year, now I'm pretty happy to mention that the track, "Highwaymen in Midnight Masks" is to be released on wax. The outstanding Denovali Records will release a limited three track 10" led by the unbelievable eight and a half minute title track on December 17th (pre-orders open 29th Nov here ) and to help [...]
Here's the latest gem to emerge from the collaborative effort of prolific UK producer Roof Light and Alicia Merz of New Zealand's Birds of Passage , a project they are now calling Brother Sun, Sister Moon . The band files this track under "psychedelic / childhood hymn," which pretty much nails the eerie, lost-Vashti-Bunyan-lullaby vibe. Look for Brother Sun, Sister Moon 's debut full-length to drop on Denovali sometime in spring 2012: Brother Sun, Sister Moon - "Ghosts [...]

Birds Of Passage - Winter Lady
Ik. Ik zit. Verbijsterd. Verbouwereerd. Van de kaart. Van de leg. Steeds weer. Hoe. Krijg. Hoe krijg je het voor elkaar. Was het binnen een jaar. Nee, het was korter. In een vloek en een zucht lijkt het wel. Tot...

The Review: Birds Of Passage – Winter Lady
Es war einmal ein Mdchen. Das lebte vor langer Zeit in einer befremdlichen Welt. An ihr ist ein frchtliches Verbrechen geschehen. Das Mdchen, in wallenden Kleidern, langes Haar, gefesselt am Pfahl, erdolcht. Sie mag fr ihre Andersartigkeit bestraft worden sein. Fr das, was sie getan hat. Und nicht tun durfte. Hat sie Schuld auf sich Read the Rest...
Schneegeflüster: Birds of Passage
Auch mit der zweiten Platte verführt Birds of Passage mit still dröhnendem FlüsterPop in eine düstere entschleunigte zerbrechliche Welt. Ein Wintermärchen. Ein aufregendes Jahr für Alicia Merz alias Birds of Passage . Mit ihrem Debüt "Without the World" begab sich die Neuseeländerin im Frühling auf erste kleine Europatour. Im Herbst erschien "Dear and Unfamiliar" (zusammen mit Leonardo Rosado) und zu Weihnachten folgt bereits der nächste Longplayer. Schon die ersten Töne von "Winter Lady" (VÖ 17.12 / Denovali ) [...]

The Review: Birds of Passage and Leonardo Rosado – Dear and Unfamiliar
Als damals von Birds Of Passage die ambienten Traumlandschaften "Without The World" erschienen war ich sehr angetan. "Ambient ist Entspannung, Drone ist Langsamkeit und Zeit ohne Ende, Shoegaze ist Unschrfe und Noise". Birds of Passage (Gesang) ist das Pseudonym von Alicia Merz aus Neuseeland. Leonardo Rosado (Electronic) ist ein Musiker aus Portugal. Das via Denovali Read the Rest...
