For Folk’s Sake recently premiered the music video for Ana Silvera’s ‘Early Frost’, featuring Alan Frampton. It’s a prime example of her heartfelt songwriting, showcasing a strained romance with palpable heartache. We are pleased to have once again touched base with the London-born, Copenhagen-based singer-songwriter, whose music rides a stirring line between alt-folk and bluegrass. Taking on...
Photo courtesy of Independent Music Promotions Unfortunately Steven’s new LP is about as interesting as its name—and its name is Groovy Avocado Disco. It’s eclectic, fully-baked indie rock that, as the tendrils of modern society coalesce, will only become more relatable. The album is an acronym for “Generalized Anxiety Disorder”, and speaks much to the sinew at...
by Jonathan Frahm • 5 May 2022 • Comments Off on Premiere | Suzie Brown – Bulletproof Photo by Alex Berger Suzie Brown’s ‘Bulletproof’ is instantly relatable for many of us, relaying an empath’s feeling as they navigate the turbulence of the last few years. Musically, it’s an infectious cut of Americana that the artist, cardiologist, and mother tackles with a...
In some ways Jenny Berkel is wrapped in mystery – These Are the Sounds Left From Leaving is her first album in almost six years. Along the way she concentrated on her poetry while still performing live and creating a set of songs showcasing the world we’ve been living in lately. As she points out about the songs, “They’re...
by Jonathan Frahm • 5 May 2022 • Comments Off on Premiere | Arielle Eden – U-Turns Westchester singer-songwriter Arielle Eden is finding her stride in the pop-country scape. ‘U-Turns’ is a slickly produced tune that confidently meshes organic and synthetic instrumentation. Neither one element hogs the spotlight from the other; rather, they’re evenly tended to by the common thread that...
Peaky Blinders may be over and finished – at least on television, with a film and likely other projects planned for the future – but here to put a bow on it is Anna Calvi’s EP drawn from her work scoring the final two series. Having only recently binged through the show (I was an extra in the final...

Throughout her 90 years on Earth, she helped to mould contemporary American roots music and, thusly, is a pioneering face of modern folk and blues. With the...
by Pete Bate • 2 May 2022 • Comments Off on Album | Charles Watson – Yes For his second solo album since time was called on Sheffield’s Slow Club, Charles Watson seems in a bucolic mood. Gone are the woozy layers of 2018’s Now That I’m A River, replaced by a bright straight-forwardness. Yes is a perfect spring/summer record, full of...
by Jonathan Frahm • 11 April 2022 • Comments Off on Premiere | Christine Sweeney – Anywhere, Anyway Photo by Shannyn KTChristine Sweeney’s Heart in a Hurry is a culmination of parts.
