Liz Overs

A tangle of word and melody, old and new, 'NIGHTJAR' evokes journeys along ghostly paths, country lanes and starlit shorelines, alive with shimmering patterns of a flowing tide.

Stories of childhood, of loves and rivalries, fair maidens, cruel sisters and winged sorcerers are interwoven with glimpses of the natural world. 'NIGHTJAR' is Liz Overs' debut solo release, having previously been signed to Atlantic in the late '90s as part of indie-dance crossover band Pocket Size, and she was also lead singer and songwriter for the Sussex-based folk band, Chalk Horse Music.
