Nuées Ardentes

Description

Nuées Ardentes, the new album by Birds on a Wire, due out on October 3, 2025, delicately and intensely explores the theme of adolescence — its impulses, its vertigo, its melancholy and its flashes of brilliance. Carried by the magnetic voice of Rosemary Standley and the vibrant cello of Dom La Nena, this singular repertoire weaves connections between eras and styles: songs by Bronski Beat, The Cure and The Doors converse with an air by Stefano Landi, a song by Barbara and traditional English songs. La Maîtrise de Radio France, conducted by Sofi Jeannin, brings a choral light to this deeply moving set. With Nuées Ardentes, Birds on a Wire delivers a record that is both intimate and incandescent.
