Best New Indie Folk – Kirsten Izer, Little Quirks, Selena Feliciano, Ailbhe Reddy

Kirsten Izer is ready to take flight on her new single The Messenger. This sad somber vibe might be a reclamation. Izer exercises some demons while churning beneath the breakbeat of the surefire drum part. Together they offer elegant contrast. Its a tempered, controlled energy. Much like the narrative which finds Kirsten in control of her story.

Little Quirks caught our attention with their new single Where Did You Go. An ethereal indie folk vibe finds the middle ground between contemporary and modern. There’s a spiritual reverence and anthemic spirit. Its a soft fury that could land big in concert. Stylistically we hear a dose of Brandi Carlile or Of Monsters And Men. It’s a banger.

Selena Feliciano knows her single The Prayer is special. The song has been with her for some time, and now finds immortality courtesy of a convincing studio release. Her voice is silk smooth while retaining a natural candid feel. There’s a lot of spiritual influence to her sound and her writing. The backing vocals illuminate her heavenly presence. We think its gorgeous.

There’s something hypnotic about the voice of Ailbhe Reddy. You can get lost in its intoxicating nature on her new single So Quickly, Baby. The subtle opening section is crazy effective and unassumingly seductive. It adapts with explosive tension as it collides with the songs rocking pivot. With progressive surprise the vibe whiplashes between realms of indie folk and indie rock. We dig her both way.
