Album Review: Jane Tyrrell - Echoes In The Aviary

StarStarStarHalf Star

"Echoes In The Aviary does not disappoint"

We’re entitled to expect a lot from Jane Tyrrell’s debut and not just because its title evokes Maya Angelou’s I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. It’s been near enough a decade since we first heard Tyrrell’s soaring, searing, operatic tones. Since then her voice and her live performances have, among other things, played a pivotal role in Urthboy’s ascension to the top of the Sydney rap heap. So: hopes are high. Improbably, Echoes In The Aviary does not disappoint. There are moments of piercing ecstasy, quiet introspection and run-to-the-dance-floor dynamism. A mighty achievement.
