Rhythm [CD]

Wildbirds & Peacedrums fourth studio album finds them lean, hungry and defiant. In stripping back they have discovered an unblinking directness, a taut muscularity honed from years of intensive live performance. Wildbirds & Peacedrums have turned the screw. Rhythm is the work of husband and wife duo Mariam Wallentin and Andreas Werliin. It is their unflinching vision. No other ears. No other fingerprints. Written, recorded and produced by the pair in their Stockholm studio. There is an unshakeable confidence in its execution, which could only be achieved by working in this way. Proof that intuitive and primal interplay between voice and drums still has the power to leave you breathless. Sound-wise we wanted it to feel like a live experience, Andreas explains. Almost every song is one take. We recorded standing in the same room, no screens or isolation, looking each other in the eyes."
