A Little Folksy Pop From Heroes of Toolik

Heroes of Toolik 2013Heroes of Toolik, an NYC based super group, are on the verge of releasing their second full length LP in August. In anticipation of that release, they’ve put out a single that shows off their avant-garde folk pop style. “Perfect,” which you can listen to below, is a nice blend of avant garde folk pop which orchestral influences. The vocals are a bit unconventional, almost like a bit of poetry in the verses, but then they remind me a bit of Belle & Sebastian in the harmonious choruses. And it’s impossible to ignore that nice string presence in the mix that adds an extra layer to the song. Take a listen and then get ready for Like Night, which will be out in August.

This song, “Perfect,” is a dreamy escape for four minutes that uses quiet vocals and effortless instrumentation to take you away from the daily mundane and into a better, gentler world. Personally, I’m loving the soft feel that this track has going for it, with each instruments’ contribution melting into the next so that the song dwells in between the genres of blues and folk. Get to listening and get excited for that album.
