Meels has unveiled her captivating debut album, "Tales From A Bird's Bedroom," a daring, nature-infused journey that explores the quiet splendor of nostalgia, introspection, and the spectrum of human feelings in relation to nature, urging us to examine more closely the awe and charm of life surrounding us. It is difficult to measure, except to mention that this album, which is now streaming, will resonate deeply for many, akin to a quiet secret hidden among the 350-foot redwoods of Mill Valley.
The title of the album, "Tales From A Bird's Bedroom," is not
coincidental. Meels discovers a method to weave themes of flight,
freedom, and nature's subtle intelligence throughout the project.
Inspired by the tranquil scenery of Mill Valley's redwoods, her music
reflects the stillness and flow of nature, similar to how certain birds
depart their treetop refuge to soar. The result is of an album that is
simultaneous and profound.
Seven songs spanning 28 minutes and 16 seconds, "Tales From A Bird's Bedroom" is an album yet distinctly unique. It's a lyrical setting where there's no need to discover who you are. You might lose yourself in Meels' complex design. Meels seamlessly blends a reality rooted in her exquisite singing and deeply personal lyrics, in which memories elevate, and nature serves as both a refuge and a source of inspiration.
The highlight, "Boyle Park," serves as the emotional core of the album. A vibrant indie-folk anthem, it beautifully encapsulates Meels' quest for self-awareness, wrapping thoughtful lyrics in expansive melodic phrases and celestial harmonies.
Other notable tracks feature the ethereal 'December 5th,' a touching reflection on time's passage and change, and 'Falcon and the Loon,' an uplifting piece showcasing Meels' signature atmospheric production and lyrical artistry. Every track is a blend of elaborate musical compositions, understated yet elevated vocals, and a distinct genuineness that reinforces Meel's status as a rising influence in the indie folk genre.
