Bio

Led by keyboard player and songwriter Stephanie Cairns, Birdfeeder makes music for time travellers, tea leaf readers and full moon gazers. Their south seas art-pop is characterised by unearthly melodies, surprising shifts and vintage timbres.

Birdfeeder was formed in 2019 by long time friends and musical collaborators Stephanie Cairns, Josh Harris and Marley Mokomoko-Young. They’ve released two singles with self-produced videos (Banana Boxes (2020) and The Long Haul (2021)) and a five track EP, The Vile Isle (2022).

Under The Radar describes Birdfeeder’s psychedelic art-pop sound as “...somewhere between / beyond Carnivorous Plant Society's instrumental flights of fantasy and Tidal Rave's lyrical musings.” Birdfeeder’s cross-genre stage show The Veiled Isle, a counterpart to The Vile Isle EP, has been performed at Loemis Festival (Wellington, 2021) and the NZ Fringe (Wellington, 2022). The Veiled Isle is best described as a live visual album with Birdfeeder’s music animated by large-scale shadow puppetry. Birdfeeder has also performed at Wellington’s Newtown Festival, the Performance Arcade, and indie festival Bush Bash.
