“A beautiful and atmospheric slice of haunting alt-folk , complete with elegant stringS”
From symphonic darkness to post-punk apocalypse, indie's edges are burning bright: The Darts conjure "symphonic darkness" on The Fabrics of Yarns, while Chris of Wilderness cruises through the apocalypse with paranoid electronics and burning poetics on War Horny. SMIC leaves the noise behind for something quieter and heavier on The Upside (Of Losing Everything), and The Lazy I performs haunting alt-folk with rare gentleness on Leave No Trace (restrung 2025). Padded Waltz gives shame and insecurity their own voice on Hand Me Down.

“A slow, atmospheric alt-indie track about survival, finding clarity, and finally touching down on solid ground.”
