shallow song/airport fiction is really two songs – first folk, then folk rock, both with ukeleles and a guitar. I really like airport fiction, and I’m not sure if it’s because, or despite, the fact that it’s really lofi.
It’s multivalent’s first posted song!
Home (a sketch) is a folk rock song. Lots of acoustic guitar strumming, and reaching for high notes.
This is punkbitch’s first appearance here!
Looking at Witches really paints a picture of a desolate winter. It’s a folk rock tune – slow and haunting.
Joy In The Morning (Cast Your Stone) is some folk rock that veers toward soul and more of a vocal range than expected. This is dagosto’s first time on the podcast!
Give Up On Us is a somewhat folky, indie rock song. Energetic and upbeat music, with kiss-off lyrics.
Catastrophes is folk rock – a cello and a piano backing some earnest and defiant singing by Brian Rozendal.
Lied is mournful folk rock. Those sustained notes are made by a guitar, using an ebow.
Some Other Boy/Girl is folk rock, with atmospheric, heavily filtered vocals. I like the staccato bass guitar, the sound of crystal bells or chimes.
Is saying it’s “laid-back” redundant here?
Optimistic is layered and textured “electroacoustic” – a cross between electronica and folk rock, befitting the genre-hopping melissa may and sleepy pete (and their pal Feedle). It has evocative lyrics about the loves of a lifetime in an indifferent universe. There’s an astronomy-themed video, involving the vibrant cosmos.
A Song for Dolphins is an odd, eclectic song.
Insert your own “so long and thanks for all the fish” joke here.
