About the artist

Birds of Passage

A haunting whisper, a gentle tug at the heartstrings, the ethereal beauty of BIRDS OF PASSAGE is like being transported to another realm. The brainchild of New Zealand artist Alicia Merz, this ambient project has been weaving its spellbinding magic since 2009. With a discography filled with delicate melodies and haunting vocals, BIRDS OF PASSAGE has carved out a unique niche in the music landscape. Merz's ethereal voice floats effortlessly over minimalist instrumentation, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that is both mesmerizing and introspective. Drawing influences from post-rock, ambient, and folk music, BIRDS OF PASSAGE's sound is a beguiling blend of genres that defies categorization. Each album is a journey into the unknown, a sonic exploration of the depths of emotion and experience. From the hazy dreamscapes of "Winter Lady" to the introspective musings of "This Kindly Slumber," BIRDS OF PASSAGE's music is a rich tapestry of sound that invites listeners to lose themselves in its beauty. With each release, Merz continues to push the boundaries of her sound, exploring new sonic territories and pushing the limits of what is possible in music. In a world filled with noise and chaos, BIRDS OF PASSAGE offers a moment of respite, a chance to escape into a world of beauty and wonder. Alicia Merz may be a musical enigma, but one thing is certain - her music is a gift to us all.
