Wildbirds & Peacedrums enslave the rhythm on new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 5 August 2014
Now that the approved Mariam The Believer, aka Mariam Wallentin, has got all that solo album stuff out of her system, she’s rejoined Andreas Werliin for a new Wildbirds & Peacedrums album. Called ‘Rhythm’, it’ll be released through The Leaf Label on 3 Nov.
Says Wallentin of the new record: “It was very important to us to be able to create the sound of a Wildbirds album that was 100% us. The two of us. The sound that feels like you’re in front of us, like you’re inside”.
Werliin adds: “We wanted it to feel like a live experience – rich, intense and powerful. Almost every song is one take. We recorded standing in the same room, no screens or isolation, looking each other in the eyes”.

You can catch Wildbirds & Peacedrums playing the UK for the first time in four years at Village Underground in London on 14 Nov.
