about

As she surveys her poignant and electrifying upcoming project under the moniker Humbird, Siri Undlin’s mind quickly drifts to the cornfields. "At the time of writing and recording these songs, I was deeply reflecting on what it means to be living in the heartland of America, in the Midwest, in flyover country," says the Minnesotan. "There are so many opinions—or non-opinions—about that part of the country. But as someone who’s from there and has chosen to stick around and make music of that landscape, it felt like the time to really dig into the details. Both chill and reflective, “Seven Veils” is a shimmery ode to realizing that dreams and fantasies can become real.

lyrics

Moving in, moving on
I swore I’d leave, instead I’m going strong
Calling in, calling out
Your voice is on the telephone but can’t answer right now

When I think of you
I see what we might do
A fantasy
When you think of me
And what we could be
A fantasy
Seven veils between
The smooth touch of honesty

Weaving in, weaving through
We’re living in a spiders web
Cobwebs in my heart and head
Running towards, running up
Against barricades and chainlink fences
All the past and future tenses

When I look at you
I see what we might do
A fantasy
When you look at me
I see what we could be
Another fantasy
Seven veils between
Where we’re at, and what we dream

Looking out, look where tomorrow floats
I missed another sunset from under my microscope
Holding on, holding up
Patters of a tapestry, tryna find my place in the mystery

When I look at you
I see what we might do
The possibilities
When you look at me
I see what we can be
In reality

When I look at you
I see what we could do
Can you see it too?
When you look at me
I see what we could be
Look what we can be
Seven veils fall away
As the night folds from the day

Humbird Minneapolis, Minnesota

Combining a wintry longing with the warmth of a familiar folktale, Humbird stretches between experimental folk and environmental Americana to embrace the unexpected. This music invites a refreshing dissonance into the house, it leaves breadcrumbs along the path and reflects light back at the stars. ... more
