Superb songwriting and an effortlessly enjoyable sound make up the timeless warmth and appeal of Meels’ debut album Tales From a Bird’s Bedroom.
From the California valleys to New York City, Tales from a Bird’s Bedroom skilfully intertwines the organic wonder of acoustic music with the fullness and busy scenes of city living. Straight away, Meels draws you in with these images and ideas – reflections and literal stories that consistently keep you enthralled.
With the opener, December 5th, this much is clear, moving smoothly into a more metaphorical arrangement of thoughts, for Royal Flush. After this, Falcon and the Loon is a brilliantly energised and quirky highlight. In every case, the music embraces its listener, again balancing minimalism with bigger band vibrancy, and delivering catchy pop progressions along the way.
For fans of the likes of Orla Gartland through to KT Tunstall, Tales from a Bird’s Bedroom is a gorgeous and rather faultless collection of folk pop songs. The production has a level of warmth about it, which brightens up the organic layers that build each track, and Meels delivers the very best of her songwriting and vocal abilities in a natural and enchanting manner.
