Headfirst into the Riddle is the debut record from lyrical folk group Cat Dog Bird. Described by songwriter Jen Lush, ‘the record is about the inner lives of others, the things we think but rarely speak out loud. The tiny details about the moments that might break us, move us and may even help to make sense of the weird everyday happenings.’

The detailed illustrations, rendered sensitively in pencil and watercolour, express the ethereal tone of the music. Hidden stories and cryptic narratives linger throughout and compliment the richness of Lush’s writing.
