Two years after The Fool, Swiss avant-pop artist Kate Birch returns with a new album, Closure. The yet to be detailed project is introduced by “Welcome To Paradise,” an ethereal single showcasing pastel synths, a violin skillfully mimicking the melodies of real birdsong, and otherworldly vocals. “My senses were wide-open; I felt so connected to nature, as if I’d taken a hit of LSD, but I was completely sober,” explains Birch. “Yet I felt connected to everything: ants, birch trees—all this life around me. The gap between us gone.”
