Jealous of the Birds

Hailed by NPR for her “remarkable gift for converting spare and common ingredients (voice, acoustic guitar, a bit of whistling) into a sound that’s dense, gently hypnotic and utterly her own,” Jealous of the Birds – the musical moniker of Northern Ireland-based singer-songwriter Naomi Hamilton – has earned worldwide critical applause for her resonant lyricism and surprisingly volatile musical approach.
Born in Portadown in County Armagh but now based in Belfast, Hamilton started writing poetry and playing guitar at 12, influenced by Beat poets like Allen Ginsberg, and such indie rock icons as Fleet Foxes, Pixies, Nirvana, and Elliott Smith.
