Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends – Summer’s Gate
When you think of the best in folk rock in this modern era, Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends has to make your list. Especially after their work in their latest album, ‘17 Birds of the Summer’s Gate’. In their track, ‘Summer’s Gate’ they craft the genre with a neo-classical expression opening up a unique stylistic and emotional dimension to tell the perfect story. In its solemn flow, it rings with a dazing and deep sensibility, one that hooks into the heart and grows like a vine. The feeling gets thicker, deeper, stronger, and denser. A thicket of real and authentic feeling. A contemplative melancholy that rises from the essence of your being, as enriching and luring as velvet.
Ava Valianti – Buttercups
Ava Valianti’s vocals, just by itself, are craft. The artist has such an effortless way of expressing herself, so honest and vulnerable. There is absolutely no barrier or boundary between her music and her expression. They flow with a naturality, the essence of her and her experience. In her latest release, ‘Buttercups’, she builds a dreamy, surreal world, swirling with love, romance, and so much beauty. She channels the feeling of spring, the smiling yellows of buttercups, into a Lana Del Rey-esque aesthetic, building it up to an acoustic rock burst. Stringing the soft with the passionate, fresh color with powerful warmth, she crosses the spectrum of loving someone and fighting for it.
Sons of the Mellow Mafia – Buck Jones
The Mellow Mafia is just as it sounds, an ambient, lo-fi starter group. The neo-classical, jazz group seems to claim a personality of their own with their self-titled debut album. ‘Buck Jones’ introduces the collection. Its butter yellow luminescence, wandering piano lines, the floating jazz frames in the back, everything is so light and airy. Like a happy summer day dream. You can sense a playfulness, a spirit of joy and positivity that you can easily slip into. Saxophones ooze, pianos detail, and the beats build up the spirit. The song is a fresh addition to our Spring playlists, because of the way it refreshes it, and elevates the mood effortlessly. With soft, lo-fi lines, the band keeps us feeling buoyant and relaxed.
