New Zealand/Australian, duo Bird Machine (Jenna and Luke Grbin) have today dropped their much-anticipated self-titled debut EP.

Described as a collection of good and bad dreams, the 5-track EP is a dreamy mix of alt-rock, pop and folk – what’s become known as the Bird Machine sound. “We’re super excited to be releasing our debut EP and feel the songs are really a combination of our styles and musical instincts. They reflect our desire to move people in some way – whether spurring them on to action or giving comfort.”
Alongside single ‘Our Kind’ (Top 11 Radio One Chart + over 23k streams across platforms to date), ‘Moneyache’ and ‘I’m Right Here’, is previously unreleased ‘Time and Space’ – a gently floating and rolling single. “‘Time and Space’ is about living in the wake of personal loss,” says Bird Machine. “It tries to express the ways we are reminded of someone who’s left us, and how losing someone can feel like losing ourselves. It’s drawn from our own experience and perception of the world, so it’s very personal.”

Jenna grew up in Hamilton and was born into a musical family of 8 kids who all sang and performed in family shows and tours. Two of her siblings were even on the 90s show McDonald’s Young Entertainers. Luke was born and raised in Geelong, Australia and while he pursued Architecture, music has always been a part of his life.
While writing and recording their EP, the husband and wife duo have been busy juggling work – Jenna as a freelance graphic designer and Luke for an architecture firm while also embarking on his PhD at the University of Waikato in Urban Planning – and also two energetic kids, Finley (3) and Liam (5).
“Having spent many hours, outside of work and time with the kids, to produce this record ourselves at home, it was a labour of love. But it never felt like work, just what the two of us wanted to do with our lives. Our kids even get into it, often singing our songs around the house.”

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
