Victoria Blade - Lo-fi Love Songs (2019)

 


GENRE : indie folk, folk pop, lo-fi pop, bedroom pop
RECORD LABEL : Already Dead Tapes & Records

This is the debut album from singer-songwriter Victoria Blade. It's exactly as the title suggests - an album of lo-fi love songs. Recorded onto a 4-track Tascam, these simple dreamy folk songs are wonderfully hissy and bare. They address and express the deep love and affection one feels towards a significant other, and documents the places they've been and the time that they've shared together... but the songs also address and express the internal struggles that occur during major life changing events.

This album makes me yearn for summer. They make me wish I was sitting on a warm sunny beach, without any responsibilities or commitments... just watching the water sparkle and shimmer away, birds cawing and swooping...
Instead I'm sitting in front of my computer in a cold room with several layers of clothing on, listening to this album while trying to ignore the howling gale outside that's rattling my window pane. 

Oh yeah, Victoria Blade is also an actress, most notable as the commercial woman on the Emmy-award winning series Wandavision.

Nadine Carina - Reverie (2019)

 


GENRE : folk pop, indie pop, bedroom pop, alternative folk, electronic, Switzerland
RECORD LABEL : Furious Hooves

Nadine Carina is a Swiss singer-songwriter that writes delicate dreamy songs that completely lull you with her beautiful breathy vocals and hazy guitar/piano playing. This album is one big soft pillow on which to (figuratively) rest your weary head. The songs are stripped down, organic and minimalistic - the sound of one person happily lost in their own little dream world. Such a lovely musical discovery during this horrible time.

Furious Hooves (tape label) have such an interesting roster of lo-fi bedroom pop, experimental folk, noise rock and quirky electronica artists. If you like this album, you should definately take a browse through their Bandcamp page.
