Itâs morning in Australiaâs Dja Dja Wurrung country, and even over an international phone line, the songbirdsâ celebrations lilt in and out of tune with singer-songwriter Harmony Byrneâs laugh. âThose little songbirds, I tell you, healed me so much!â Byrne says. Sheâs been living alongside them in the bush of Victoria â sans studio, company, or car â since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic last year. There, Byrne and the birds in the background recorded âThe Songs I Sing When No One Is Listening,â an EP sent forth from the wilderness on Jan. 22 by a self-described âcustodian of love.â
