Charm of Finches
Charm of Finches are an Australian folk duo formed by sisters Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes in Melbourne. They describe their music as contemporary chamber folk—a gentle blend of intimate melodies inspired by love, grief and nature. The sisters grew up in Northcote, busking as kids and learning violin and cello at Steiner School, with Mabel later teaching herself guitar. They began writing songs together as children.
In 2014 they released their debut EP, Home, after a school project, which a friend helped record. They won the Darebin Music Feast Songwriters’ Award in 2015. Their first full album appeared in 2016 and was praised as stunning folk. Their second album, Your Company, followed in 2019.
In early 2020 they showcased at the Folk Alliance International Conference in New Orleans and were selected for the Global Music Match. Your Company won the Folk/Singer-Songwriter award at the Independent Music Awards in 2020. In January 2021 they signed with AntiFragile Music in New York. The lead single Canyon was released in August 2021 ahead of their third album, Wonderful Oblivion, which came out on 22 October 2021. Their fourth album, Marlinchen in the Snow, was released in April 2024.
