The Anglo-Norwegian multi-instrumentalist has also confirmed her first show this year, to take place at London's Kings Place, Kings Cross, on 11 April. Tickets are on sale now.

The five-track record is set to be released on CD, digital download, and vinyl, with the latter featuring a B-side containing a "remix suite of the entire record courtesy of Texas based electronic artist Rabit." Mila Furstova has created a series of etchings for the album, and the record's release will be accompanied by artwork based on these etchings.

Birds Burning has been crafted after Siem investigated her ancestral connections with "the Sami people, the indigenous people of Northern Scandinavia." After meeting Mari Boine, a Sami musician "whose shamanic protest songs reflect 'a soulful folk tradition'", Siem altered her create process.

Speaking about the new methods, Siem says: "The Sami don't sing songs about things or people or places; they invoke them. So they sing a bird, rather than about or to a bird. That was a total shift in what music making was about for me, and Bird Burning is the result of that transformation".

This new record was recorded at Iceland's Green House Studios with producer Valgeir Sigurðsson (Sigur Rós, Feist, and Björk).

Bird Burning is out via Blue Plum on 17 June. It follows last year's Most Of The Boys.
