Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, sister duo Charm of Finches are an enchanting and also haunting folk group. One whose music talks about love, loss, grief, whispering trees and so much more.

Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes grew up busking old time tunes and singing on festival stages around Australia.Citing influences such as Sufjan Stevens, Gillian Welch, Danish artist Agnes Obel and First Aid Kit, the sisters' seamless blood harmonies traverse melancholy and wonder in equal measure.
