Indie Folk Discovery – Babe Rainbow, Mark Armstrong, Wintur, The Host Club, SIKADE

Get on the Babe Rainbow and dig into their new song Waterfall. Groovy chill grooves with attitude, Babe Rainbow brings a soft fury that transmits infectious energy in concert. The recording does well to soak you into your metaphysical daydream. They find the Lou Reed influence in a Jose Gonzalez scope of influence.

Wintur is comforting on his new single Caution Signs. Consistently vulnerable and effortlessly catchy, Caution Signs is a rare upbeat moment from the occasionally somber songwriter. Stylistically it feels like a slow Jimmy Eat World song from their Clarity period. We love that style.

The Host Club lends its space to a soulful escape with the new single Would That Be Okay. A convincing vocal performance full of emotion never gets old. The contrast of the beat and percussion adds a complimenting feature. Its a soft sentimental moment that recalls an influence of Cigarettes After Sex.

SIKADE is a songwriter and harpist from Norway. Her new single Greedy Heart does well to display the magnificence of both mediums. The harp adds a magical essence while her intuitive touch as a writer keeps the melody feeling fresh and ever evolving. Stylistically we hear an essence of Weyes Blood or Beach House.
