Blazing a trail of future music to come, “Meteor” is the first of a series of planned releases from the Australian folk-pop duo due to impact in the coming months that will form their highly anticipated fifth album.
Inspired by the powerful forces of nature that reflect a tumultuous inner world, the track was recorded by the ocean in Victoria, Australia, and mixed in Canada. Of this sensual, string-laden new single, Charm of Finches say:
“This song came out of a bit of a turbulent time, and contemplates the sometimes fraught relationship with the self. We’ve visited many dramatic landscapes this year – we hiked up an active volcano in New Zealand and visited the oldest rainforest in the world up in Northern Queensland. We think that witnessing the power and grandeur of nature really influenced the writing of this song.”
Directed and edited by Charm of Finches, the track is accompanied by a bewitching official video featuring elegant choreography and shamanic feathered costumes hand-crafted by the band. Of the visuals, the band add:
“We love to create music videos that are sort of like mini short films. We drew aesthetic inspiration from Yellow Jackets with a sprinkle of Narnia. We got out the glue guns and handcrafted elven twig crowns and feathered costume pieces, and even painted an animal skull mask. We collaborated with our incredible friends who helped us design and put together the costumes, source props as well as dance and act in it! We wanted to capture a magical, powerful, natural world and incorporate the beauty of the Australian landscape.”
A taster of what’s to come, Charm of Finches invite you to help them create their next album via the Australian Cultural Fund.
As they map out the course of their next long-player, sisters Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes will return to the UK for a stretch of intimate shows and scenic songwriting sessions. Kicking-off at London’s The Grace on 18th February and concluding at Glasgow’s Glad Cafe on 4th March, the run will see them play at towns and cities everywhere in-between on this fourteen-date tour. Expressing their excitement for the upcoming visit, Charm of Finches add:
“On our last UK tour, we connected with so many people and we can’t wait to visit again – singing in old churches, stuffing ourselves with English breakfast and patting highland cows. Then we’ll be writing songs by the windswept coasts and rugged mountains of Scotland, creating our fifth record.”

Charm of Finches create intricate folk-pop that is simultaneously graceful and darkly complex. Their seamless blood harmonies traverse melancholy and wonder in equal measure. Winners of the Australian Folk Music Awards Best Folk Album (2022) and Music Victoria Best Folk Act (2021), the band have also been nominated twice for the Australian Music Prize.
With four acclaimed studio albums released to date, their most recent was 2024’s ‘Marlinchen In The Snow’. Recorded in rural Nova Scotia with acclaimed Canadian producer Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, Good Lovelies), it was inspired by the frozen beauty of the landscape, Grimm Fairy Tales from their childhood, and their transient life on the road with their music. Watch the video for “Middle of Your Mess” here.
Touring extensively throughout the UK, Europe, and Canada in 2022, 2023 and 2024, Charm of Finches will return to the UK in February and March 2026. Catch them at these dates as follows:
