The London Roots Festival Presents: Birdvox

Introducing Birdvox and their debut album Shamming The Drama. Twelve big-sky
songs of joy, rage, connection, grief, empowerment, the natural world, and peace for
the times we're in. Political disco; skewed-folk floor fillers; avian electronica; hymns to
humanity. the honest and cathartic noise of the multi-tasking artist-producers who
made this record, equally and collectively.
Birdvox is Sarah Hayes (vocals, synth, flute, drum programming), a founding member
of Glasgow's beloved Admiral Fallow; Inge Thomson (vocals, accordion, field
recordings, drum programming), a longtime collaborator with the multi-award-winning
songwriter and storyteller Karine Polwart; Jenny Sturgeon (vocals, guitars,
keyboards, drum programming), a SAY Award-nominated solo artist, and singer with
alt-folk mainstays Salt House; and Charlotte Printer (vocals, bass, percussion, drum
programming) who's previously performed with revived Scottish pop icons Altered
Images, and Loyle Carner-collaborator Joesef.
The album was produced by Birdvox and Peter Brewis of Prince-favourites Field
Music.
Singing in Scots, Shetland dialect, old Norn and English, Birdvox distil their individual
influences into a unique musical point of view and a joyful live experience.
"Perhaps the standout event of the whole festival. exciting and energetic. at
the intersection of boundary-pushing art and extremely listenable, melody-based
pop"
