Our Spring Folklore playlist is meant to bring out feelings of introspective magnificence that can be revealing and revelling. This list highlights this more than ever with Benny Wise’s explorative style, May Payne’s warmth, and Eternal Mourning’s expansiveness.
Benny Wise – Looking at the Moon
There is delight in contemplation. The bubbling curiosity and the wandering planes you create to satisfy them. Thought can be so dynamic even as you stay still. Benny Wise’s ‘Looking at the Moon’ creates that space to stay and stray, wonder and answer, lift and lay. The acoustic track, filled with specks of guitar melodies, like pearls falling on the floor, or diamonds casting a hundred dots of lights, is a lovely soundtrack for a morning walk or morning coffee amongst nature. Let it play on the speakers and mix in with the wind, with the air around you and see how many dimensions it acquires. The artist leaves space for the listener to inhabit with his own thoughts and feelings.
May Payne – High Demand
This is followed by May Payne’s youthful melancholic and soft stream of consciousness in ‘High Demand’. The warmth of the instrumentals cozies with the cool, refreshing tones of May’s voice. They fly, flutter, and spread across the instrumentals, leaving emotive stains and thought shadows behind. But they keep moving, keep expanding and become part of a thought train. There is some edge, that despite all the softness, it gets marked quite well. Stories get added, opinions get formed. And other momentous events get cataloged like a fly in a fossil. If you enjoy the work of Joni Mitchell, Phoebe Bridgers and the like, you’re sure to enjoy the intimate and expressive frames of this artist.
Eternal Mourning – I’m a Draft
Philippe Mourani makes music with all the intensity of being human. It has so much depth that it spreads out, gains atmospheric dimensions and dips into you. His banner, Eternal Mourning, carries his melancholia and melodrama into elevated levels of feeling. Deepened with coarse, hard instrumentals and even deeper baritones, the artist explores incompleteness. The spaces that are left open and vague, roaming an expanse without being weighed down. And the soundscape, produced to be a long, elastic, stretching horizon of emotion that you can dwell in for as long as you want. Like a landscape, like a panorama that you can float on in.
