...landscape of her songs - which is perhaps no coincidence. Last year, just after she returned home to tour with the Finn brothers after living for a while in Paris, Runga's father died. The confluence of events helped her focus on what mattered with her music: the unvarnished truth of performing live. And for the recording of Birds, Runga gathered around her a band of like-minded souls - from Neil Finn on piano and bass guitarist Conrad Standish, of The Devastations, to The Boxcar Guitars' Benny Maitland on harmonica - to capture the intimacy of her stage shows.
