Sienna Thornton / Birding Out LP Black Vinyl 

***PRE-ORDER: Shipping from Friday 25th July, 2025***

After a long silence since the release of 2018’s ‘Cyanide Thornton’ album, Narrm-based songwriter Sienna Thornton returns with a new full-length album, ‘Birding Out’.

Sienna speak about the album’s first single, ‘After Harvest’, out this week —

“As with a lot of this album I let this song come intuitively, starting with the chord structure which reminded me of patterns in a maze.

Within this I remembered the story of the minotaur from Greek mythology - greed, suffering, nature and nurture, intergenerational threads and the line of twine. This led to linear and non-linear time perception, life-line, body and mind, cycles and spirals, ecosystems and resources - what happens when the extraction of the final harvest has fed our unending hunger.

I found myself trying to find a balance between a desire for certainty, concreteness, and what it feels like to embrace a less tangible, intuitive experience. I tried to imagine where each source of knowing comes from.”

The album features Sienna on most instruments, with a range of guest performers including Shaun Fogarty (tenor sax), Emma Stuart (voice), Georgia Knight (voice), Mei McCraken (voice) and Luke Brennan (acoustic guitar).

Birding Out is out everywhere Friday, July 25th.
