Recorded predominantly by Lucie at her home studio in a little cottage on Australia’s far south coast, ‘Where Night Birds Call’ is a stirringly assured collection from this fine songsmith who is without question hitting her stride. Moving through Lucie’s distinctive heart-of-winter folks songs (‘Walking Late’, ‘Home Sized Town’), to the deliciously close-lipped lilt of ‘The Upfield Line’ and ‘The Movies’, to the rugged, spacious rock ‘n’ roll of ‘Shot in the Dark’ and ‘Five Years’, ‘Where Night Birds Call’ delivers a richness of breadth and feeling that encapsulates a remarkable songwriting personality, while resonating with the gentle deliberator in us all.
