SINGLE RELEASE - HUMMINGBIRD

The words of Hummingbird came to Lauren whilst she was driving through the Dorset countryside. The lyrics hounded her with so much persistence that she had to pull over next to the monolithic Cerne Abbas giant to scribble them down, struggling to keep up with the current of them coming to her.
 

When she read over what she had written she realised that the lyrics were in essence of her favourite Frida Khalo painting Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird and were bringing her a message she needed to hear.

​

Spooky, yet beautiful, it has a Parisian timbre to it that would not sound out of place busked on the cobblestones of Montmartre.

The album features some sterling production work and a wonderful collection of musicians who each bring their own unique styles to each track. The songs reminds me of better times and sitting in a green field somewhere while ‘High Shelf Remedy’ entertain me with their unique vibe.

This melting pot gives High Shelf Remedy their own uniquely blended multi-genre concoction of carnivalesque sound.
