Oranges and Seals

by Broken Bird

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    This album securely places Mehal as a songwriting talent to take notice of. Recorded over the course of a year under the careful eye and ear of Dare Mason (Van Morrisson, Peter Gabriel, The Blow Monkeys) Mehal was also joined by Marty Willson Piper taking a break from touring with the Church in Australia. The haunting voice of Tiare Helberg on A Song For sends shivers down your spin and this descent into the poetry of madness is where this drama is placed. This is the Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet for the decade..
    Mastered in New York by Dan Grigsby this has pedigree all over it. Enjoy.

about

“Clearly Mehal’s work does not go in vain and it’s no surprise that his music is becoming familiar to music lovers across the world. With an expanding fan base predominantly American (in California, Florida and Texas). There is also an expanding interest from fans across Japan, United Kingdom and even the Aussies!”
Liza Moscatelli - AU Review



“Mehal has a captivating voice that is so tender and deep, that the listener cannot help but be mesmerised by. Oranges and Seals is a collection of beautifully designed songs that exhibits the narratives through its musical poetry. Mehal’s lyrics are quite emotive and deep, taking listeners on a journey into his world.... ”
Liza Moscatelli - Australian Review

"Mesmerising, twisted blues, sharing the same midnight dread as John Martyn enveloped in John Cale's mastery of drama"
Lee Trewhella - The West Briton/NME

about

Broken Bird Lisbon, Portugal

The music of Broken Bird is difficult to pin down. Certainly rock, blues, indie and folk have all featured heavily as the artist weaves stories out of human existence.

What we can say is that there is constant movement..
Mehal aka Broken Bird has more recently come to a revelation.. that music is best heard in its natural state so expect another sea change..
