Rachel Sermanni has revealed her new video for ‘Two Birds’ (Directed by Myles O’Reilly) – a track taken from her new EP Everything Changes which is due for release next week. Helen recently reviewed the EP, she had this to say about ‘Two Birds’…
The first of the re-recordings, Two Birds, opens the set and it’s intriguing to hear how the song has developed in the intervening months. Taken at a fractionally faster tempo, the underlying structure and arrangements are much the same, yet the feel of the two versions is very different. The Boathouse Sessions version felt very much like a snapshot of a work in progress and, while the ‘live’ sound may have been exchanged for a more polished production, this in no way compromises the performance. Rachel’s voice is still very much to the fore, delicate and strong, while her skeletal acoustic guitar is fleshed out with Jen Austin’s piano and harmony vocals above a solid rhythm and a string arrangement which whirls and weaves like autumn leaves on the wind.
