Meg Baird

Meg Baird’s ‘Furling’ is unlike anything she has done before. Impressively, she and Charlie Saufley recorded every instrument and the intimacy of their musical connection is plain to see. Baird has mastered the balancing act between maturity and eclecticism perfectly, and the results are spellbinding.

‘Ashes, Ashes’ is the latest single from Meg Baird. Watch the video by Rachael Pony Cassells which accentuates the dream-like feel of this moving meditation – a swooning slow jam over which Baird’s mesmerising vocals soar.

Meg Baird shares new album single ‘Star Hill Song’ – described as a loose, Hi Record groove swaying in the lazy West Coast breeze, as sunshine sonics fly like banners in magisterial folk-rock procession.

Listen to the new cover singles from Bill Callahan and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy – Lou Reed’s ‘Rooftop Garden’ featuring George Xylouris and Little Feat’s ‘I’ve Been The One’ featuring Meg Baird.

Our Song of the Day comes from Mosses, featuring Danette Bordenkircher and Ryan Jewell and a series of specials guests which include Meg Baird who joins the chorus on their lead single Another Plan from T.V. Sun which is out today.

Six Organs of Admittance’s Ben Chasny returns with his third Hexadic instalment which conveys a shared mode from a wide span of performers including Meg Baird, Moon Duo, Jenks Miller (Mount Moriah) and more.

Watch Meg and Laura Baird perform ‘Down Where the Waters Flow’ from their new album Until You Find Your Green. The session was filmed at Brickbat Books in Philadelphia, PA.

This week’s mix features all new music, some of which is yet to be released. The one thing they all share is that they push the boundaries in terms of creating original music, and it is this which sets this particular playlist apart.

If this is your first dip into the music of The Baird Sisters, then let it not be your last. Until You Find Your Green is one of the most beautiful albums of 2016, one I know I’ll constantly be revisiting.

Heron Oblivion, fronted by the phenomenal Meg Baird, put in a superb session for the most excellent ground-breaking WFMU which also happens to be one of my favourites radio stations. Watch it here.

Following the release of her new album ‘Don’t Weigh Down the Light’ Meg Baird has announced a run of European live shows in September with Great Lake Swimmers. Plus listen to Good Directions from her new album.
