Tony Arthur – shoebox
Tony Arthur’s ‘shoebox’ explores time again in a whole new way. The artist sings as if resigned with memory. Low tonal baritones, staggering coarsely with a crooked and dallying rhythm. The acoustics set a basic pace and a raw scene. All this simplicity presents with an intimacy that changes the whole composition. The emotion feels deeper and the story swirls with heartfelt details. Tony Arthur takes nostalgia and adds a beautiful tragedy to it, a kind of dull heartache that leads you to think back, reflect and expand into the horizon of the past. Floating, lifting, twirling, and fading away, the song feels like fleeting moments of memory.
Gon von Zola – Comfortable
Gon von Zola is a singer-songwriter and alt folk artist. He sets out yet another reflective track for this week’s folk list. ‘Comfortable’ has a cozy and a complicated feel-good feeling. There’s a sweetness to it but also a bitterness. While the former sets the scene, the latter deepens it. His vocals are warm, drifting softly like snow on a windy night. With luminous acoustics just floating about, the song feels like it’s forming around you, occupying nooks and crannies in the world around. There are playful moments of acoustics but also a smooth rock guitar line. Despite its vivid resonance, it feels light, uniting the wandering emotions into a cohesive core that feels close to the heart.
