Blueless Bird is the first song to be released from Joni Fatora’s new EP, Navigator. The daughter of a sailor, 22 year-old Brooklyn-based Fatora grew up living all around the world; Blueless Bird captures the feeling of the drifting paradise that we’d all like to imagine a life at sea to be like. Hints of Hawaii, backing vocals lapping like soft waves on white sandy shores, and carefree jazzy guitar are a perfect match for Fatora’s delicate vocals. All this is wrapped round a lyric that, in wonderful contrast, muses on the irritation of being awoken by early morning bird-call, imagining the dawn chorus as a rehearsal for a show Fatora hasn’t been invited to.

Produced by Chris Petrosino and Rob McCurdy (Noise Club) and recorded at Dreamland Studios (Fleet Foxes, The National) in upstate NY, Navigator will be released later this month on iTunes, Spotify, etc, and so on and so forth…
