Folk music

Strange and beautiful dispatches from the margins: Wholesale Angel Market explores desolation, redemption, and the animal instincts lurking in the far corners of our rooms on their stunning debut, while Elly Kace channels the divine feminine through ambient bluegrass for the reclamation of something sacred in American culture. Brian Jin wanders from Hawaiian-cowboy-ukulele-jazz to dream-dictated gospel on the album he never planned to make, and Ultimate Rick Jones delivers a mandolin-laced anthem for anyone who thought better of going down with a ship. The Tremaines wrote a dreamy love song to their family home — yes, that Dawson's Creek house — during a hurricane, and The Male Pattern previews his satirical, ugly, and gloriously unworkshopped Americana concept album.
