Die Geschichte der Entstehung des Projekts Birdloom ist ebenso spannend wie die neun darauf enthaltenen Stücke. Im Jahr 2002 las Sharron Kraus eine Anzeige, die (der inzwischen verstorbene) David Muddyman (Loop Guru) geschaltet hatte: “Female singer, in the vain (sic) of Sandy Denny, Celia Humphris, or even Yma Sumac, wanted to pull English traditional folk music into the 21st Century. If you think a backing of Mongolian Drones, Screaming 60s organs and Transcengenic rhythms sounds appalling, please don’t reply. What I want is a singer with heart and passion and a sense of adventure. Preferably based in London or the South East. Initially this is a recording project only.”
