More New Folk Music from Book Club

Just a month ago I tossed out a great folk number from Atlanta’s Book Club, and I’m back at it again with this excellent track, which is my favorite of the two. One of the things I particularly enjoy is the group’s additional instrumentation, adding horns and strings to their carefully crafted sound. Throw that in with the gentle guitar strumming and you have guaranteed hits that warm your campfire. If you’re digging this as much as I am, keep a look out for their Shapes on the Water EP, which hits the streets on November 13th.

New Folk Track from Book Club

October 11, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Even though my penchant for rock n’ roll has lived on the heavier side this year, I still get excited over incredible folk music (you can blame my father). When I first heard the latest single from Atlanta’s Book Club I couldn’t wait to share it with everyone. It’s not over-produced like a lot of folk music; it’s simplicity is both endearing and purposeful, leaving room for the lyrics and the vocal interplay to shine in listener’s ears. There’s really no need to cover up your songwriting when it’s this spot on. You can find this track on the band’s Shapes on the Water EP, which adds to the growing list of great November 13th releases.

Folk Jam from Book Club

July 28, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

In case you hadn’t completely take notice, it seems that Atlanta is the new Brooklyn, or since it’s smaller, it’s probably the new Austin, sadly. But, good for the ATL, especially considering they have this great little group, Book Club. The song below comes from the group’s record, Ghost, which will be released next week, August 2nd. For me, it sounded like a sad-bastard version of a serious Moldy Peaches tune. But, hold on for lush arrangements, folk texturizing, and you’ll be pleased with what you hear. This is definitely a good way to begin a Thursday in my opinion.
