There’s a strong mystical character in ‘The Granny House’. A solemn, cathartic quality that instantly commands the listeners’ attention, wrapping them in soft yet fierce folk stylings, all crowned by Dead Bird Lady’s evocative and hypnotising vocals. Living in England and boasting French and Mexican roots, the talented songstress manages to build her own peculiar artistic universe, a place that’s gloriously soothing and lyrically engaging.
A five-track EP, ‘The Granny House’ develops its quirky identity on a bed of minimal acoustic matter, especially channelled through icy, sparse percussions and mellow guitar and ukulele action. The result is a stream of sonic goodness with hymn-like sumptuosity, the perfect match for Dead Bird Lady’s personal and metaphorical lyricism, delving into the dark corner of human consciousness and beyond.
As she explains: “It represents my own genesis, each song relating to a room and revealing a different memory that shaped her and this project: love, loss, grief, cultural identity, guilt…”. Self-produced, ‘The Granny House’ is Dead Bird Lady’s debut EP.
