The Island -- Part One, the sparkling debut by Norwegian singer-songwriter Stian Fjelldal's new dream-folk project Birds Are Better has just been released to Spotify and all the major services.
Creative and eclectic, Birds are Better owes as much to classic groups like Crosby, Stills & Nash as it does to more modern fare like Fleet Foxes, The Flaming Lips and Susanne Sundfør.
The first of a pair of albums scheduled for release this year, Part One captures Fjelldal's emergence from a bout of writer's block that saw the veteran artist plagued by self-doubt and malaise. Highlight tracks include "Marigold", "Fencing You In" and the title track, “The Island”
