Perhaps I've missed something, but is dream folk-pop having a moment? I seem to be unearthing quite a bit of it at the moment, and I have to say I'm here for it.
Today's shining example is from Georgi Krastev. Bulgarian born but Canadian raised, which I guess means a leg up the musical ladder (go on name me a famous Bulgarian artist), he's just arrived at TSMM towers with this, his new single, and the door is open.
A quick investigation reveals that he's been releasing music for five years now and hitting play on a few of the tracks reveals a steady stream of dreamy, soft edged, pop tinged folk, coupled with some sparser, but equally pleasing indie-folk vibes minus the synths and sustained notes bleeding into each other. He's got a vibe, a great voice and can certainly play his instrument. Any readers that were feeling the recent Vraell release I reviewed will surely be satisfied.
The new track starts with some aching strings that lay out the red carpet for some gentle finger picking. A twinkling, gently insistent synth loop shines its light through the crack in the curtains, and some more substantial synth pads firm things up a bit lest the somewhat melancholic vocals fall through the cracks. It's an introspective yet comforting track and will be a fine companion for any reflective moments that you might be having this weekend.
