Growing from quaint electro-acoustic sentiments to whirring exhilaration, “The Birds” is a consuming track from Taipei. The Finnish artist shows a mastery of engaging build-ups, teasing with various moments. 00:43 sees an expansion of crisper, soaring vocals, with spacey elegance building to a moving, anthemic vocal push at 01:24. A fluid synth lead and lively arpeggio are soon to follow. At points there’s an assumption of the track’s peak, when in reality there’s a constant pulsing of various peaks and enjoyably lush valleys — a testament to the playful, evolving feel. As such, “The Birds” grips from the get-go and never lets go with its evolving, cohesive structure and very melodic construction.
