Black comedy and chaos as Wallis Bird flies high

Wallis Bird is wild. She’s unpredictable and contradictory and, according to own publicity material, she is a musical magpie who writes mature, self-affirming songs which display an unusual emotional breadth.

 This April will see the release of her fourth album, Architect, which promises to be just as wild and exciting as the previous three.

A native of Wexford, Wallis Bird has been known to do some damage while rocking out stage. She has shredded her fingers and broken string after string from the sheer force of playing on stages big and small across Europe.

 Since the release of her debut album, Spoons, in 2007, Wallis has grown from strength to strength, gathering an increasing number of fans in Ireland and abroad with her passionate and entertaining live shows.

Wallis’ passion for her music and her diversity is what makes her stand out in the industry, along with the various albums that seem to document her life.

Her upcoming album, Architect, is set to continue the trend.

“Comparatively, you’d know it was me, but differing in that I’m growing old disgracefully and my pendulum swings more towards black comedy and filthy sounds,” she says.
