The Bird Calls, the venture of singer-songwriter Sam Sodomsky, has introduced a brand new album known as Old Faithful. The follow-up to final yr’s home-recorded Exodus All Over is due for launch on May 31 through Ruination Record Co. Listen to the LP’s title track under.
Opening up about ‘Old Faithful’, Sodomsky mentioned in a press release: “I was particularly inspired by the following quote from Nick Cave from his book with Sean O’Hagan, Faith, Hope and Carnage: ‘As I’ve gotten older, I have also come to see that maybe the search is the religious experience—the desire to believe and the longing for meaning, the moving toward the ineffable… Perhaps God is the search itself.’ I thought his logic could apply to both spiritual and romantic devotion, and that each requires a lot of patience and active attention. Today’s prayers are only good for today.”
Produced with Nico Hedley and Ian Wayne, the brand new album options contributions from Jason Burger (Scree, Twain, Big Thief), Winston Cook-Wilson (Office Culture, Winston C.W.), Katie Battistoni (Katy the Kyng), Andy Cush (Garcia Peoples, Domestic Drafts), and Shaughnessy Jones (Trash Girl).
