Jealous Of The Birds Shares New Track BLUE EYES, Plus Video

Jealous of the Birds shares her latest track "Blue Eyes" along with a companion music video directed by Nashville-based director Joey Brodnax that was filmed in various locations across Dublin. "Blue Eyes" comes from the forthcoming EP Wisdom Teeth, which also includes the recent single "Marrow", and will be available February 1 on Canvasback Music (US) and Hand in Hive (UK & Europe). This will be her first EP of completely new material since signing with Canvasback Music.

"Our main intention with this project was pretty simple," says Brodnax. "We just wanted to create something that's crazy fun to watch. There is something strangely beautiful in the recognition and embracing of absurdity. It gives way to this underlying state of vulnerability on camera that Naomi completely understood and thrived in."

Naomi Hamilton, aka Jealous of the Birds, expands, "the video was shot across two days all over Dublin with a small crew of people. It was probably one of the most fun and random shoots I've ever been a part of. Joey's ideas and artistic direction really captured the wacky sense of humour, energy and playfulness that I felt would complement the song. It's full of visual non-sequiturs, bold primary colours and heaps of attitude."

Of the song she notes, "There's something powerful to me about femininity being self-reflexive as opposed to being expressed through the male gaze. I tried to translate that grit and sass by going for heavier instrumentation, funky bass lines and pop vocal melodies. Honestly, I just want to make the listener dance and feel good. Out of all the songs on theWisdom Teeth EP, this was perhaps the most musically direct and enjoyable to record."

Wisdom Teeth follows the 2018 EP The Moths Of What I Want Will Eat Me In My Sleepwhich features the singles "Plastic Skeletons" and "Russian Doll". "Plastic Skeletons" has been a showcased on NPR's All Songs Considered, XPN's Gotta Hear Song of the Week, and BBC Radio 1's Tune of the Week.

Hamilton released her first EP Capricorn while studying English and Creative Writing at Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland. Then following the release of her next venture Parma Violets, came a serendipitous SXSW performance that same year that ultimately led to the connection with Canvasback Music. Most of her lyrics come from personal notebooks of poetry or grow out of literary references from her reading collection.
