About 〰️ Finlay Birch
Weight Will Unwind is a song about carrying emotional weight and the quiet moment of trusting that it doesn’t have to stay heavy forever.
Written in a farmhouse kitchen on a stormy night on the Isle of Mull, the track reflects on patience, change and gentle release, favouring atmosphere, restraint and stillness over resolution.
This is the title track of Finlay Birch's debut album Weight Will Unwind, recorded by Dylan Cooper (Charli XCX, Lil Peep, Miley Cirus) at An Tobar and Mull Theatre last November.
It will be independently released this year Finlay Birch is a Scottish singer-songwriter originally from Inverclyde and now based on the Isle of Mull, where his creative spirit has long felt at home.
His music blends alternative folk, indie and soft rock, shaped by a reflective writing style and a strong sense of place.
Working with producer and long-time best friend Dylan Cooper, Birch’s debut album Weight Will Unwind brings together songs written across nearly a decade, from material first penned eight years ago to songs completed within the past six months.
The album marks a new chapter in his songwriting, rooted in warmer, more organic arrangements and a collaborative approach. Exploring themes of emotional weight, stillness and release, his songs favour honesty, atmosphere and restraint over polish.
