Ghostbirds by Paulina Fae

Paulina Fae strips her ethereal dreamscapes to their bare essence: her sensual voice and sparse instrumentation transport listeners to a garden of spectral blossoms where the hum of nocturnal life feels like a gentle heartbeat. This 10-song dream pop offering is steeped in soft, misty lullabies, carried by minimalist piano melodies and haunting atmospheres. With each note, Ghostbirds bridges the realms of imagination, evoking a world where spectral birds glide through timeless skies, delivering whispers of faraway places and forgotten dreams.  

Steve Davis, HEARTS OF SPACE Radio: “(Paulina creates) a quiet masterpiece, both earthly and ethereal. Through her music, lyrics and images she guides us through an alluring world that seems strange yet familiar, distant but as close as your heart. The veil of the dreamworld is near; the Eternal Feminine is calling.” 

Bandcamp: “New & Notable: Shadowy, immersive music … with rich electronic textures cradling whispery vocals.” 

“I’ve created videos for each of the ten songs on Ghostbirds,” Paulina says. "They're short films in their own right, each weaving the song's themes into a visual narrative, but it goes beyond that. I've pieced them together (without the use of AI), blending video footage with my sketches to bring each storysong to life. The songs/films are interconnected, forming a cohesive experience. These short films are an integral part of the creative whole, as vital as the songs themselves. They enrich the experience, adding layers of expression and atmosphere woven into the very essence of Ghostbirds, deepening the emotional and storytelling journey. The interplay between sound and imagery is truly magical.” 

Tracks like ‘Night’ and ‘Juniper Satellite’ paint vivid scenes of twilight wanderings and celestial vistas, while ‘Dreaming with the Bees’ and ‘Forever Blooming’ transport listeners to a realm of phantasmal blossoms and the serene hum of nocturnal life.   

With its soft, warm tones, Ghostbirds envelops listeners in a cocoon of sound, offering an otherworldly escape into introspection and serenity. Each track holds its own tender story; together they form a unified exploration of fragility, resilience, and the beauty of the unseen. Let Ghostbirds carry you into its quiet world where time slows, and the lines between dreams and reality blur.
