Get Mellow & Slow with This Week’s ‘Spring Folklore’ List

By

Kaleb Hikele – Slowly 

Kaleb Hikele is a singer-songwriter who nurtures a succinct and sophisticated craft. The folk rock artist leads his listeners to intimate spaces with his evocative music, forging irrevocable connections that carries the tidal wave of fans back to him. His latest release is ‘Slowly’, a track that is made to linger and savor the moments of heartache and spiraling. Moments of acoustics and plush vocals that take us to dreamy spaces of melancholy. Like listening to a man singing in a bar, the artist pulls a stranger in with vulnerability and raw expression. The track splits open and gets visceral in the bridge, the folk rock instrumentals striking a fantastic chord as you descend to the depth of his emotions. 

Wattmore – Canadian Whiskey 

Wattmore is an Australian brother duo crafting sharp-witted country songs. They have a rustic style that they celebrate in ways that you will not forget in a hurry. For their latest track, ‘Canadian Whiskey’, they take on a dissing agenda, directing fun yet silver tongued critique at the destructive and deceptive  policies of the United States of America. The brothers vow to drink liquor from all over the world, but not a single drop from America. The tones are bright and sharp as they highlight the lyrical satire. With a rhythm that keeps you dancing, grooving, and laughing, the brothers find a light-hearted way of reminding us of the villainous reality of the USA in the present day. 

Victor V Gurbo – Red Cadillac and a Black Mustache 

Victor V Gurbo revives an old time classic with his single, ‘Red Cadillac and a Black Mustache’. The artist, along with his four-piece band, bring a softer interpretation to Warren Smith’s rock n roll original. The song floats with the lightness of a ballad. It’s a little bit more intimate and confessional in tone as Victor explores the lyrics with vulnerability. You can spot faint traces and influences of Bob Dylan’s cover, in emotion and in its bareness. Journeying through the song, you get to know the protagonist’s curious, fond yet melancholic heart. It’s endearing, it is nostalgic, with a moody retro blues cast. The song is the perfect conclusion for this week’s ’spring folklore’. It wraps it up with a wholesomeness that fills up your heart.
