Nightjar [LP]

Liz Overs - Nightjar [LP]

LP version. A tangle of word and melody, old and new, Nightjar evokes journeys along ghostly paths, country lanes and starlit shorelines, alive with shimmering patterns of a flowing tide. Stories of childhood, of loves and rivalries, fair maidens, cruel sisters and winged sorcerers are interwoven with glimpses of the natural world. Nightjar is Liz Overs' debut solo release, having previously been signed to Atlantic in the late '90s as part of indie-dance crossover band Pocket Size -- she was also lead singer and songwriter for the Sussex-based folk band Chalk Horse Music. Liz's haunting, unaccompanied version of "The Birds in the Spring" was featured in Dylan Howitt's award-winning documentary The Nettle Dress, and she performed live at several key screenings of the film in the UK.1. 01.
