Sparkle Folk
Uplifting Acoustic Roots Pop (OSPK-084)
Whether you wake up with an invigorating cup of coffee, morning meditation, a brisk dog walk, or the daily chaos of getting the family out the door, any day can feel like a bright new day with the right soundtrack.
The possibilities feel endless with the uplifting, peaceful modern folk sounds of Sparkle Folk (OSPK-084). Utilizing the organic sounds of acoustic guitars and hand percussion, composer Philippe Bronchtein (The War & Treaty, Esmé Patterson) brings out the extra shine by adding tasteful touches of Hammond organ, pedal steel, and atmospheric electronics.
Energetic optimism and motion stay down to earth on tracks like “Hands In The Dirt” with laid back drums and easy guitars with a country feel. The roots instrumentation generally gives the album a lighter touch while the introspective chord progressions and simple melodies bring out the deeper emotion. “Sentimental Roots” is an excellent example of that balance that prevents this album from heading down the saccharine road. Instead, we’re putting down roots in a genuine, earnest place… though it’s not without a bit of sparkle.
Sparkle Folk will fit nicely in your playlist of go-to acoustic underscores for anything from fishing shows to teen road movies. It’s modern folk without crossing into mainstream territory and country without the downtown Nashville twang, bridging the gap with sounds that make both genres compelling in their best moments.
