Nire Bird has released her latest single ‘Pardon My Reach’, teasing a new album from the artist in the coming months. Haunting vocals are the centre of this new track, showcasing a dark new direction. An introduction of experimentalism is made with heavy electronic sound design, blurring the lines between percussive and melodic sounds with harsh counter melodies in amongst the drums and synthesisers.
She shares, “You know phrases used without thought of origin, like whispered punctuations to other shit going on. Vaguely ornate sounding if you hit pause, ‘Pardon my reach,’ a swishy spicy pineapple martini arrived. A bar decorated with human embodied plastic, everyone trying to be seen, looking for that feeling. My company, an old new friend heard it the way I heard it. Mmm came a specific reach right round my… pardon….? We were tapped in. Oh pardon my reach chimed again and again as the night ticked. Every wildly inappropriate thing that could be hinted at was chased by it. A phrase now more a cheeky grin of I’m just gonna do this. your gonna watch. Wink!
In the end PMR isn’t just the fun ‘single' or mischievous girl on a night out. It embodies the essence I’ve circled back to on this EP. An expanded allowing of being who you wanna be, in your space without excuses. Not asking. Doing. Reaching for it. The doll called me is mine, I create my narrative. Quell the beast and take back the power. Be the jockey of your race.
Its inception came from leaning into those new connections where anything can happen and everything is fun. The beauty is cheeky and playful. Climbing out of your sandbox and letting life’s stories take you places. They don’t have to have anchors or fixed outcomes. Like the magic you can feel when walking down the street with a best friend not doing much. Being in flow with another. Everything is being tapped into the moment.”
Nire Bird first came on to the scene with her single ‘Dark Beach’ in 2019. Three years later, she re-emerged with her debut album ‘Beach Noir’ Featuring ‘Sexual Truffle Pig’ and ‘Yes Please’.
