An artist usually known for Bossanova influenced piano-based tunes, Bird Call has now cast her spirit in an entirely new direction. Returning after a year spent exploring how artists on other planets approach music making, singer Chiara Angelicola is returning this fall with a new full-length to match this new orientation, in ‘Will we Get to Mars?”
Apparently this record was titled before Mars Curiosity touched down on the red planet earlier this week. But no matter, according to Chiara, the new record is “not about the landscape, it’s about the emotion you’re trying to get across in the song.” Nevertheless, the new landscape couldn’t be more exciting. The video from the first single ‘Miracle Man’ (streaming below) finds the singer cast as the shamanic vision of exotic dancers and cosmic hallucinations, backed by hand percussion and droning synths courtesy of producer Bryan Senti. The new direction might take you away from the world, but the emotion will pull you inwards. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
