"Lullabies & Love Songs from the Bardo"
Through these eleven songs, eleven stories unravel their hypnoagogic dream journey
through the internal landscape of twilight visions and memory...where enchantment
borders the perilous and whimsy settles on everything like gold dust on moths.
With all
the songs composed and performed by herself, A HUNDRED BIRDS
is Sylvi's most personal and intimate album to date.

"....she writes intriguing songs which captivate you from the beginning to the end. As a result, this record has got absolutely not one dull moment and songs like ‘Arrival‘, ‘Embers’ and ‘Sovereign‘ will grow on you each moment you listen to them again. For people who love quiet pop with sometimes light folk influences 'A Hundred Birds' is an album you must have." Beautevil (for gothtronic.com)
After completing this album, it struck me that many of these songs are about
the act of
letting go
- letting go in it's many forms - surrender, death,
natural
cycles,
such as
when leaves
are ready to
leave the branch
and return to
the earth
to feed new growth. - Sylvi Alli
