This Week’s ‘Spring Folklore’ List Offers a Refreshing Breeze

By

Liv Dawn – Falling For You 

Liv Dawn is a singer-songwriter and a folk pop artist. Her style frolics like meadows and rivers during spring time. Especially in her latest release, ‘Falling For You’. She crafts the aliveness of the theme, the feeling of new love and its joyful moments with vivid instrumentals, sweet vocals and happiness. That romance blended with an atmosphere of bloom, openness, warmth, and scenic imagery, it feels like you’re in a fairy tale. Liv’s vocals are especially vulnerable and revealing in the way that it all feels. She carries it in each inflective spell and delivers it with a natural and authentic grace that is so easy to fall in love with.

Nothing Concrete – the boats 

This band is not your usual alt folk group. They are histrionic, dramatic, and all kinds of expressive. Bringing a sense of animation and performance to their music, they keep it quirky, funky, and youthful while also moving towards contemplation, sophistication, and novelty. Their latest release is ‘the boats’ in which their mercurial pulse becomes especially evident. Conjoining marching band beats with wild acoustics, fantastical vocals, middle-eastern flavored jazz, and a mystical ethos, they create the wilderness that the ocean can be. The fragility of a mere boat against the vast force of the alluring sea. If world folk were to cameo in a film setting, then this is what it would sound like. 

Michellar – Get Me There to Church 

Michellar winds down the country roads with her latest release, ‘Get Me There to Church’. The song has that small town charm, that sort of cozy, community atmosphere around love. She taps into that frequency, articulates it with classic country instrumentals, feel-good vocals, and moving accents. The track is a love song; a woman asking the man she loves to make a decision, to take her to church and marry her. Everything in the song seems to be telling a story, dripping with sentiment and a sense of happy ending. And the listener can’t help but root for this love, celebrate in joy and day dream with the protagonist. Listen Now!
