Folk artist Humbird has shared new single “Blood Moon,” which is “a reflective and quietly comforting track.” It creates a peaceful moment for those who might need it and builds on the artist’s own experiences managing chronic illness.

Siri Undlin, the artist behind the moniker, shares:

‘Blood Moon’ explores the experience of living with a female body, menstruation, and navigating the challenges of PMDD – a difficult and sometimes debilitating disorder that can severely disrupt a person’s life. In looking to the movements and shifts in the cosmos, the song is intended as a gentle tether to reality, as well as a companionable lullaby for anyone who listens and is in need of a peaceful moment. Gentle dissonance and satisfying resolution reflect the ups and downs that come with chronic illness.

“Blood Moon,” along with the previously released “February,” offers a first glimpse into Humbird’s forthcoming full-length album.

The past two years have marked a prolific period for the Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter. She released her album Right On in 2024, followed by 2025’s Astrovan: The Love Song Vignettes.

During that time, Humbird toured extensively, headlining clubs, and supporting Indigo De Souza, Watchhouse, Brent Cobb, and Lady Lamb, appearing also at Folk Alliance, Treefort Music Festival, MerleFest, Celtic Connections, Pickathon, and NPR’s Mountain Stage, among others.
