Sarah Klang has the ability to illuminate everything she touches. Her voice is full of sensual emotion. It’s slightly worn and carefully controlled in a way that’s entrancing. Whether it’s a ballad or a pick me up, Klang delivers. Her recent is full of contrast.
Go To The Sun is a refreshingly upbeat Americana indie folk flashback. It’s cinematic and dreamy, but it can’t escape Klang’s sad essence. Let that truth lift you out of your seat.

We thought something cool was going on with Zack Keim. It makes sense that he’s been picked up by indie folk icon Caamp’s label. His new single Batterly Lane reiterates his brilliance. Paired with the music video, together they help to chart a framework of the artists world.
The old soul is a nostalgic highlight. He even kind of looks like a lost time traveller from the fifties. It’s his style, we like it.

Okay we admit it, we love their project name. Cancel Winter, which involves songwriter Nate Kreiswirth, really hits home during this current cold streak. It’s catchy and honorably original. Their new single Waking Up proves they’re good at writing songs too.
A cinematic progressive indie folk highlight, Waking Up evolves like a journey. Stylistically it blends an influence of Elliot Smith with a more epic produced indie folk presentation. We also hear elements of Flaming Lips and Nick Drake. Its a dense work. Dig in.

Erin Schneider reinvents crying on my birthday with her new single. It’s less of the classic “I’ll cry if I want to” and more of a “I can’t help but cry I’m sorry.” This melancholy spin lands dreamy in the world of sadcore. Beyond the narrative, it’s a neat blend of jazz influenced indie folk.
You can hear the legacy of Carole King mixed with the modern influence of Lizzie McAlpine or Clairo. We like what’s happening with the Philly area upstart. She’s on our radar.
