Equal parts light and shade, the songs are poignant and vulnerable, bursting with honesty and raw passion.
Hailing from Portadown, Jealous of the Birds emerged from the vibrant suburban folk scene, alongside acts such as Ciaran Lavery and No Oil Paintings.
Naomi quietly unleashed her debut EP Capricorn in March 2015, where her wonderfully understated bedroom indie-folk won her an ever-growing legion of support.
