Hello there friends. It’s good to have you back for another thrilling 90 minutes of the best new music in the world. The 36th episode of The New Balearic is a folky affair. Electro-folk. Freak-folk. Indie-folk. Folk punk. Folk pop. Ambient folk. It’s all here, only venturing ever so slightly outside the genre to introduce the episode with some pure pop from Phoenix, and dabbling in some instrumental ambient electronica here and there, courtesy of Helios and Australia’s young Pogo.
Yep. The folk fun is led by perhaps the best Grizzly Bear song ever, and continues with some freak-ish folk from Brooklyn’s Julianna Barwick. After that, we head north to Canada to hear a new track from Edmonton’s up-and-coming Provincial Archives, and some experimental goodness from the consistent Tim Hecker. Later on, we’ll be introduced to The (fantastic) Rural Alberta Advantage and Our Book and the Authors, followed by another solid effort from Calgary’s Jordan Klassen.
Meanwhile, a new track from the Bowerbirds, a song from the side project of Sigur Ros‘ Jón Þór Birgisson (Riceboy Sleeps), and an epic 10 minute long electro-folk, slow-brewer from England’s Kyte will ensure that this episode does not disappoint. I hope I’m right.
