New Go Away Birds EP is out!
I’m not sure there’s a voice I like more right now than Catherine Ireton’s. Between the God Help the Girl record (which is still growing on me with every play) and The Go Away Birds, she’s a pivotal part of two my favourite bands of the year.
The Go Away Birds are a rather simple proposition. Most of these songs aren’t overly complex or flashy. Most are just a guitar and Ireton’s voice, but that’s more than enough when you’re dealing with a voice like this. It also feels a little like the aforementioned God Help the Girl project is rubbing off here. The songs on this third EP seem a little more theatrical than before, complete with backing vocals and little flourishes. Of course, I could be entirely wrong and these songs could have been recorded years ago.
Best of all is that the band seem to be continuing to release material purely out of the goodness of their hearts. This is the third EP released, and the third one that is free. It seems almost criminal that records this good can be obtained for absolutely nothing, but who are we to argue?
Heart Thump Heart Thump is available for free download from the band’s website. Throw a bit of money into the donation box if you like it though.
