Our Take

Thrusting themselves into the folk revival scene with all the subtlety of a drunk uncle at a wedding, STRAY BIRDS have unleashed their latest offering, "Magic Fire".

From the get-go, it's clear these feathered friends are on a mission to ruffle some feathers. The opening track, "Wandering Days", sets the tone with its jangly guitars and soaring harmonies that could make even the most stoic of hipsters tap their feet.

But don't be fooled by the whimsical title – this ain't your grandma's lullaby. Tracks like "Wildflower Honey" and "Long Table" pack a punch with their introspective lyrics and driving rhythms that demand your attention.

Lead vocalist Maya de Vitry's haunting vocals are the glue that holds this eclectic mix of Americana, folk, and bluegrass together. It's as if Joni Mitchell and Dolly Parton had a love child who grew up listening to Fleet Foxes and The Staves.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows here – tracks like "Harbinger" and "Cover My Tracks" delve into darker territory, exploring themes of loss and heartbreak with a rawness that will leave you reaching for the tissues.

In conclusion, "Magic Fire" is a fiery concoction of passion, heartache, and toe-tapping goodness that will leave you spellbound from start to finish. STRAY BIRDS have truly spread their wings on this one – don't be surprised if you find yourself singing along with the chorus of magic fire.
