Jealous of the Birds release "Beginner's Luck"
Jealous of the Birds – the moniker of Northern Ireland-based singer-songwriter Naomi Hamilton – share new single from their forthcoming album.
"It made sense to me to begin the record from a place of humility and acknowledge the extent to which I’m never done learning," says Hamilton. The older I get, the more I discover that the key to learning is to open oneself to being teachable. The song’s structure is set around archetypal figures from which one might construct a perspective of the world. There’s value in that which I wanted to dedicate a song to and "Beginner’s Luck" is what came of it."
Hinterland was created with producer, engineer, and mix engineer Declan Legge.
“This record is one person weighing up the ways in which we’re isolated from one another, with the ways we are deeply connected in perilous times. How we hold the capacity not only to be repelled by the chaos of civilization towards the peace of a hinterland, but also to be drawn out of the remoteness of our mental landscapes toward a renewed sense of belonging," Hamilton reveals.
Hinterland will be released on 19 May via Canvasback/Atlantic/Parlophone pre-orders are available now.
