Birdvox is Sarah Hayes, a founding member of Glasgow's beloved Admiral
Fallow; Inge Thomson, a longtime collaborator with the multi-award-winning
songwriter and storyteller Karine Polwart; Jenny Sturgeon, a SAY-nominated
solo artist, and singer with alt-folk mainstays Salt House; and Charlotte
Printer who's previously performed with revived Scottish pop icons Altered
Images and Loyle Carner-collaborator Joesef
Produced by Birdvox and Peter Brewis of Prince-favourites Field Music. Shamming
The Drama consists of twelve big- sky songs exploring joy, rage, connection, grief,
empowerment, the natural world, and peace for the times we're in. Political disco;
skewed- folk floor fillers; avian electronica; hymns to humanity... the honest and
cathartic noise of the multi-tasking artist producers who made this record, equally and collectively. There are no token gestures on this record.
Shamming The Drama is post-folk, post-pop, post-pigeonhole. It's the sum of all its
parts. It's what happens when you rewrite the recipe, shake the kaleidoscope, and
make a record only these four people could make, together.
