The Ingrid – Mother
The Ingrid is an indie trio who dream up worlds of music. Swirling with sentiments and sensibilities, it can be enchantingly intimate. Their latest release is ‘Mother’, an aching folk rock track that expands with sensational emotions. It is lush, warm, rich, and full of beautiful complexity. The vocals are immersive with beautiful dimensions of melancholy, nostalgia and fondness. This journey is elevated and expanded by the luminous guitar chords and ambient riffs. Every bit of the soundscape drips with a thematic feel. It’s dreamy, surreal, almost otherworldly. But it all seemingly emerges from somewhere deep within. This whole world inside you blooms with a sweet pain. Such a beautiful and soulful track to open this week’s list.
Martin Lloyd Howard – Rapids
Martin Lloyd Howard speculates with his music. Every time you listen to his compositions, you can’t help but feel moved by the current theme. His style is all about soft power. Minimalistic, simple, yet full of a deep, profound ambience. His latest release is ‘Rapids’, a guitar instrumental composition. Lined with floating strings, tonal play, luminous accents and a flowing space, it’s as if he’s given us a piece of his consciousness. A moment of reflection that you can dive into and revel in. Despite the bareness of the track, you can sense something alive, simmering and swirling within it. It asks something of you, a conversation ensues and a contemplative space opens up. Such a beautiful state of mind. Listen Now!
Boyce Thompson – Up on Peters Mountain
Boyce Thompson is a storyteller first. The singer-songwriter and alt folk artist has such a simple yet alluring style, one that examines and magnifies normal life frames to make it profound. His latest release is the ‘Up on Peters Mountain’ album, a collection that not only showcases his depth but his stylistic range and performative variance. The title track is especially animated. Quirky, funny, and full of humor and imagery, his slapstick country style is easy to fall into. With neoclassicals, dynamic acoustics and an expressive banjo, the soundscape is as rustic and country goodness as it can get.
