| WHEN LESS IS MORE: BIRDS OF PASSAGE |

New Zealand ambient artist Alicia Merz is set to re-release her debut album under the Birds of Passage moniker worldwide on March 25. Without The World contains twelve mesmerising pieces of spacious minimal ambience, weaving in and out of each other to craft an enveloping shroud of whatever cerebral imagery the listener cares to conjure. The album came together from a collection of poetry written while trying to find herself between study and odd jobs - the usual trials and tribulations that come with creating art. The music that of that process manifested itself in 2009 when Future Recordings asked her to release an album which has now been picked up by Denovali records for release both on CD and vinyl. Merz embarks on a European tour beginning in Leeds at the Left Bank on the March 27th and then winding through Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland before concluding in Paris on the 13th. While the dates are in place, Merz's challenge in to fund getting to Europe. If you'd like to assist go here.
