Lisa/Liza - Forgotten Sings EP (2021)

GENRE : experimental folk, bedroom pop, psychedelic folk, freak folk

RECORD LABEL : Orindal Records

Lisa/Liza is the solo experimental folk music project of Lisa Victoria Miller from Portland, Maine. This EP is...strange. As suggested in her Bandcamp blurb, I listened to it through earphones...

Weird chorus-y acoustic guitars swirl in my head, while her beautiful voice floats in and out of focus, echoing and blipping (is that a word?) from ear to ear... a confusing yet strangely beautiful listening experience. This EP did something to my head, but I don't know what. 

Lisa/Liza is one of many interesting artists on the Orindal Records. You should have a browse through their Bandcamp page.

Scott Orr - Worried Mind (2018)

GENRE : alternative folk, electronica, soul, dream pop, ambient,

RECORD LABEL : Other Songs

Scott Orr is a songwriter, musician and podcaster from Ontario, Canada. He is also the founder/owner of Other Songs record label. 'Worried Mind' isn't his latest release, but it's the release I wanted to plug and promote on this particular occasion. It's a wonderful album. The central focus of the songs are his beautiful hushed vocals and delicate acoustic guitar picking...surrounded by shimmering ambience, glistening synthesizers, simple programmed beats, tinkly piano notes, glitchy electronics and dreamy backing vocals. A truly relaxing listening experience during these difficult times. Fans of Bon Iver and Radiohead will very likely dig this album.

Also check out his cool little record label Other Songs and his wonderful podcast Other Record Labels, available to listen to on Spotify.
