Talented Hamilton-based duo Bird Machine (Jenna and Luke Grbin) have today dropped their much-anticipated self-titled debut EP.

Listen Here

Described as a collection of good and bad dreams, the 5-track EP is a dreamy mix of alt-rock, pop and folk - what’s become known as the Bird Machine sound.

“We’re super excited to be releasing our debut EP and feel the songs are really a combination of our styles and musical instincts. They reflect our desire to move people in some way - whether spurring them on to action or giving comfort.

“Having spent many hours, outside of work and time with the kids, to produce this record ourselves at home, it was a labour of love. But it never felt like work, just what the two of us wanted to do with our lives. Our kids even get into it, often singing our songs around the house.”

Alongside Our Kind (Top 11 Radio One Chart + over 23k streams across platforms to date), Moneyache and I’m Right Here, is previously unreleased Time and Space - a gently floating and rolling single. “Time and Space is about living in the wake of personal loss,” says Bird Machine. “It tries to express the ways we are reminded of someone who’s left us, and how losing someone can feel like losing ourselves. It’s drawn from our own experience and perception of the world, so it’s very personal.”

To celebrate the release of their EP, Bird Machine have teamed up with Wellington artist Goodnight My Darling for a release show at Hamilton’s Last Place, Friday 25 November, 8pm. Tickets at UTR HERE

It’s sure to be a great night!
