The Catenary Wires are a group consisting of Amelia Fletcher, Rob Pursey and Ian Button. Their critically acclaimed third album ›Birling Gap‹ was released in 2021. Since then, they have focused on their other bands, playing all over the world with Heavenly (icons of the 90s indie pop scene) and Swansea Sound. Brian Bilston is one of Britain's most popular poets. He started by distributing his poems on the internet and now has over half a million followers on social media and a number of bestsellers. A few years ago, Rob and Amelia learned that Brian had worn a Heavenly T-shirt at one of his performances and was a big fan of their music. Since they were fans of Brian's poetry themselves, they made contacts, made friends and "Sounds Made By Humans" took shape. An album of 13 "song poems". The album is not a series of readings with musical accompaniment: it is a collection of songs in which words and music are completely interwoven. There are verses, and there are choruses. There is no "riffing", no improvisation. In many ways, Brian's poems are already like pop songs: short, direct and funny, sometimes poignant, sometimes biting and political, but always sparse and always accessible.
