Bic's new album, Birds, is out now

London, UK (Sony BMG Music Entertainment UK) - The album was recorded over a month in Auckland in an 18th century listed building, were she concentrated on capturing the elusive magic of 'live takes' with up to ten singers and musicians recoded in a room at one time.

Neil Finn (Crowded House) played a big part in this album; he is featured vocalist, played piano, guitar, psalterian and vibraphone and arranged strings alongside Tom Rainey. Bic mix the album in London with Simon Gogerly, renowned for his work with Nellie Hooper and artist such as Rolling Stones and U2.
The result is a superb distillation of Bic Runga's incredible songwriting talent and her firm grasp on the universal language of romance. Undercurrents of subtle melancholy, in songs like the breath taking and spacious Captured, country influenced No Crying No More and the classic debut single Say After Me.
