What is indie folk and how did it happen? For us its the umbrella term for thoughtful dynamic songwriting that incorporates acoustic instruments at its foundation. Sprinkle in a combination of several classic aesthetics and blend them with modern modes of indie pop. Those aesthetics include true folk, singer songwriter, Americana, roots, and a few more. For us these acts fit the description and are some of the best recent underground indie folksters we’ve heard. Dig into these tunes and hear them again on our Best New Indie Folk Playlist.
