A Song Inspired by Nature
“Meteor” was created during a challenging moment for the duo. The track explores inner conflict, yet it also highlights the healing force of nature. During 2024, the sisters travelled through dramatic landscapes, including an active volcano in New Zealand and the ancient rainforests of Northern Queensland. These experiences shaped the emotional tone of the song.
The recording took place by the ocean in Victoria, while the mixing process happened in Canada. According to the band:
“This song came out of a turbulent time and explores a complex relationship with the self. Witnessing the power of nature strongly influenced the writing.”
A Magical and Cinematic Video
Along with the single, Charm of Finches released a striking video. They directed and edited it themselves. The visuals feature choreography, handmade costumes and a mystical atmosphere. Because of these details, the video feels like a small fantasy film.
The duo explain:
“We love making videos that feel like short films. We took inspiration from Yellowjackets and Narnia. We crafted the costumes with our friends, and we built a world that reflects the beauty of the Australian landscape.”
As a result, the video adds depth to the song and expands its emotional impact.
A First Step Toward Their Fifth Album
“Meteor” is the first of several planned releases. These tracks will shape their next album, which is now in progress. Fans can support the project through the Australian Cultural Fund, making it possible for the sisters to continue developing their sound.
