shamar – song to a friend
shamar is a singer/songwriter from florida. he writes dark and beautiful songs. he has expanded his sonic pallet a bit for his new album ‘home & hearth‘, this song is an example of that. lofi/goth/electro/folk. i highly recommend his first album, ‘the samsara blues‘, as well.
baby bear lo-fi – cypress stump shuffle
Appalachian/floridian jaw harp solo. you don’t hear that everyday. the rest of bay bear’s excellent album ‘5300‘ consists of some sweet claw-hammer banjo reels and ballads.
mcgarnagle – the curious case of benjamin butthole
Weirdo folk from pennsylvania. hard to explain, give it a listen. great song titles though.
the pathetic and elegant – and you’re still here
lofi, minimalist, droney synth-pop at it’s pinnacle from this baltimore, maryland one man band. this song sounds like if a young lou reed made music with nothing but a macbook.
c. strom – red river valley
Extremely lofi appalachian folk music made by a norwegian man that sounds very right. i always feel privileged to receive transmissions from this guy. he also archives 78 rpm records. check that out here.
