Too Short: Midlands duo Bluebyrd waits for the ship to come in on Song and Dance

Posted on 31 December 2022

Asking us to make the most of our short time on this strange planet, Bluebyrd releases that held up vitality with an inspiring track to remember all day called Song and Dance.

Bluebyrd is a Midlands, UK-based folk pop duo who perform with so much love and care on each of their authentically calming songs.

”In this spec of life that’s gone in a flutter, you know what you’ve got to do.” ~ Bluebyrd

Lathered in so much quality which breezes through the speakers like those memorable anthems do, Bluebyrd guides us towards the light with a soul-beaming single to hold hands with.

Song and Dance from Midlands, UK-based folk pop duo Bluebyrd is a step-out-the-shadows soundtrack to get us off our seats and into a better mentality. Showing us where that song-and-dance is, we find a tranquil gem to turn up and enjoy for its pureness in a seemingly unwelcoming world.

If we look up to the sky and stay positive, the day shall always be more enjoyable.

Turn it up on Spotify. See more on IG.

Bluebyrd weaved a timeless folk pop serenade with their latest single, Crystals

Posted on 12 October 2022

The Folk-pop visionary duo Bluebryd entwined modernism with an air of 70s and 80s folk in their latest single, Crystals, mused by a fragile soul traversing a chaotic world with spirituality as a guiding force.

With reminiscences of Ralph McTell and Richard Thompson and melodic echoes of Cash’s Ring of Fire, the lyrically delicate protest to unsettling times will undoubtedly resonate with anyone that has felt at a loss in the current climate of ennui and disillusion. It’s a touching serenade from the folk-pop duo, who are fresh from supporting The Christians and Ian McNabb; they have also been in regular rotation on UK and international radio, with over 200 plays across 2021 and 2022.

Crystals was officially released on October 3rd; check it out on Spotify.

Bluebyrd cut through the static in their latest alt-folk single, Too Much Noise

Too much noise by Bluebyrd

The Wolverhampton, UK-based alt-folk duo, Bluebyrd, has aurally triumphed once again with their latest single, Too Much Noise, which cuts through the static in our cacophonous existence.

For anyone that acquired a new level of overwhelmed anxiety as a parting gift from the pandemics and other chaos that leaves us feeling powerless, Too Much Noise should be considered an essential release. Not only do Bluebyrd deliver resonance hand over fist, but they also create a cathartic indie-folk soundscape that sits somewhere between Cohen, Billy Brag, Semisonic and the Levellers. I couldn’t think of a better new release to drown out the world to.

Too Much Noise was officially released on January 28th. It is now available to stream and purchase via Bandcamp.
