Charm Of Finches, the Melbourne sister duo have dropped beautiful new single, “Meteor” and now announce a run of UK shows February and March 2026.
“Meteor” is the first of a series of planned releases from the Australian folk-pop duo for the coming months that will form their fifth album.
As they map out the course of their next long-player, sisters Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes will return to the UK for a stretch of intimate shows and scenic song writing sessions. Kicking-off at London’s The Grace on 18th February and concluding at Glasgow’s Glad Cafe on 4th March, the run will see them play at towns and cities everywhere in-between on this 14-date tour.
Expressing their excitement for the upcoming visit, Charm of Finches add: “On our last UK tour, we connected with so many people and we can’t wait to visit again – singing in old churches, stuffing ourselves with English breakfast and patting highland cows. Then we’ll be writing songs by the windswept coasts and rugged mountains of Scotland, creating our fifth record.”
Charm of Finches create “intricate folk-pop that is simultaneously graceful and darkly complex.” Winners of the Australian Folk Music Awards Best Folk Album (2022) and Music Victoria Best Folk Act (2021), the band have also been nominated twice for the Australian Music Prize. They toured extensively throughout the UK, Europe, and Canada in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
With four acclaimed studio albums released to date, their most recent was 2024’s “Marlinchen In The Snow”. Recorded in rural Nova Scotia with acclaimed Canadian producer Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, Good Lovelies), it was inspired by the frozen beauty of the landscape, Grimm’s Fairy Tales from their childhood, and their transient life on the road with their music.
Inspired by the powerful forces of nature that reflect a tumultuous inner world, “Meteor” was recorded by the ocean in Victoria, Australia, and mixed in Canada. The siblings say: “This song came out of a bit of a turbulent time, and contemplates the sometimes fraught relationship with the self.
“We’ve visited many dramatic landscapes this year – we hiked up an active volcano in New Zealand and visited the oldest rainforest in the world up in Northern Queensland. We think that witnessing the power and grandeur of nature really influenced the writing of this song.”
Directed and edited by Charm of Finches, the track is accompanied by the official video featuring elegant choreography and shamanic feathered costumes hand-crafted by the band.
“We love to create music videos that are sort of like mini short films. We drew aesthetic inspiration from Yellow Jackets with a sprinkle of Narnia. We got out the glue guns and handcrafted elven twig crowns and feathered costume pieces, and even painted an animal skull mask.
“We collaborated with our incredible friends who helped us design and put together the costumes, source props as well as dance and act in it! We wanted to capture a magical, powerful, natural world and incorporate the beauty of the Australian landscape.”
