Meg Baird shares new cut "Star Hill Song"

Last month Baird announced her first solo album since 2015, Furling, with the lead outing "Will You Follow Me Home?", and today (15 November) she's shared a second single titled "Star Hill Song", which is teamed with a video created by Baird.

"I’m neither a person who knows how to make films--or sew--but creating this homespun video felt very much like getting lost in a freestyle needlework and quilting project," Baird says. "I often think that music is a place where we can literally "put" or "save" things when there is no other space for them. All of the images I’ve stitched together here were squeezed from a sorely dying phone camera in my attempt to add life and flicker to them. And while they are images that mean a great deal to me--captured with eyes looking up close at things with love, care and devotion - I hope they leave plenty of open space for moods, thoughts and stories of your own."

Furling will be Baird's first solo album since 2015's Don't Weigh Down the Light, although she did collaborate with Mary Lattimore on Ghost Forests in 2018.
