Nessa Readies New EP, Shares Latest Singles

Those of you who frequent our wee site might recognize Nessa Grasing‘s name in the notes of much-championed ATH faves, Scarves. This time however, we’re focusing on Nessa‘s solo work, offering you a bit more of a personal approach, predominantly working with the strength of vocals and heavy-strumming. On “Forest Fires” there’s a bit of a pop tinge to the tune, especially as the vocals swell to meet up with a light arrangement of strings behind. “The Desert and Your Demons” seems to be a bit more of a traditional ballad, with Nessa’s voice bringing a bit more fragility to both the tones and the storytelling; you can almost hear a breaking point for the narrator as its matched by the voice during the climax. The Palouse EP is on the horizon; we’ll keep you posted as we near the release!

Love Me Some Quiet Folk From Axel Flóvent

While I’m always a sucker for music on the folksier side of things, often I’m not easily impressed by all kinds of this music. Rather, I wait for those tracks that really knock me off my feet, and “Forest Fires” is one of those. Axel Flóvent is an Icelandic gentleman who is putting out a new EP on May 25th that shares the same title of this track from it. Once you listen to this song you’ll know that you’ll have to pick that up; this track ebbs and flows naturally but with a force behind the acoustic guitar and entrancing vocals that push the boundaries of what you expected from a folk song.
