After album no.2, 'Wide Awake I see the Storm', I wanted to release an interlude, a lullaby, something that would link past albums, and shine a light on Tailor Birds’ future. And here it is, ‘Stilts on the Water’, music to fall asleep to, and to wake up rejuvenated. Stilts also features the full-length version of ‘White Feather’, written at a time

After album no.2, 'Wide Awake I see the Storm', I wanted to release an interlude, a lullaby, something that would link past albums, and shine a light on Tailor Birds’ future. And here it is, ‘Stilts on the Water’, music to fall asleep to, and to wake up rejuvenated. Stilts also features the full-length version of ‘White Feather’, written at a time of chaos, of upheaval, a time when many people were struggling, but at a time of positive change.

This record captures a moment in time, a moment to breath. It’s a shout out to all the people who take risks each day to make the world a better place, and is dedicated to the people who make my heart warm, the ones who make me smile, this is for you, my friends’ children, I hope you’ll never be afraid to follow your dreams.
