Unique of voice and dextrous of guitar-playing, Wexford girl Wallis Bird’s singer-songwriter fare manages not to be music to get depressed to. While stately pieces ‘The Circle’ and ‘Oklahoma’ are a cut above most acoustic-led introspection, her skills are better displayed on ‘Moodpieces’ and ‘Beep Beep’ – semi-electronic tunes with acoustic playing closer to Four Tet than Ani DiFranco . A release that proves that being big in Germany can mean brilliance.
