This Week’s Folk List Includes Fish & Scale, Danny Vuckovic, & Daphne Parker Powell

By

Fish and Scale – Letter From Paulus 

Fish and Scale creates an atmosphere of reflection and emotion in latest release, ‘Letter From Paulus’. The track is detailed with floating piano melodies, dotting glass melodies and soft accordion ooze. The result is an ambience that transports you in time. It’s so instant. The way the mind connects back, growing thoughtful about the past, while keeping the present molten and fluid. As you listen to the song and let the lyrics paint a picture, or a feeling, you see how connected everything is to the theme. It’s a journey, a voyage through the inner, almost meditative landscapes of someone else. It feels personal, intimate and so vulnerable. It’s as if you’re immersed by a candle lit room and reality has suspended itself. 

Danny Vuckovic – Headwind (Acoustic) 

Danny Vuckovic is a singer-songwriter and alt folk artist. His songs are personal, with lyrics that feel like bare journal entries. There’s so much honesty in his soundscapes, that you can feel coming out of the instrumental set up and the vocal flow. His latest release is ‘Headwind (Acoustic)’, a track that explores vulnerable moments when the mind weakens the person. With affecting imagery and a glazed acoustic soundscape, it’s a soft flow, a reflective trance. There are moments that create space for the listener to populate, to grow into and connect with. While the original version has a little bit more of a pep to it, the acoustic version really swallows you whole, despite its simplicity. 

Daphne Parker Powell – perpetual light of the void 

Daphne Parker Powell is a singer-songwriter and a blues artist. Imagine a confluence of Joni Mitchell’s poetic vocals with the moody flow of Amy Winehouse. That’s the experience of Daphne’s music. Her latest release is ‘perpetual light of the void’, a track that is explorative in the most interesting way. It ties in cerebral moments with deep emotion and mystical themes. The instrumentals are mellow and moody, playing out as if they’re keeping a secret or holding a mystery. It’s the atmosphere that the artist voyages through with her vocals. It feels cavernous and full, at the same time. The style is archaic and vintage, with authentic moments of complexity and vulnerability. Listen Now!
