Neuerscheinung: 'Iliacus' von Alucuo

© Artwork: CTTO / Alucuo

Indie Folk

Was mit einem gefühlvoll gezupften Gitarrenriff eingeleitet wird, wird innerhalb kürzester Zeit durch wachsende Percussion ergänzt. 'Iliacus' von Alucuo ist ein Instrumentalarrangement mit sowohl folkigem als auch klassischem Ansatz. Der Loop hat etwas wahrhaftig Beruhigendes an sich und wirkt wie ein sanfter, konstanter Puls, der einen gefühlt wieder zurück auf den Boden finden lässt und entschleunigt. Einen schönen Effekt erzielen außerdem die dezenten, harmonischen Streicher. Die Preview zu 'Iliacus' findet ihr unten verlinkt. Für mehr könnt ihr Alucuo gerne auch bei Instagram und Spotify folgen.

K Abby Jasper – Separate the Sage (Indie Folk)

🕑 2 min | Text: Adrian Release Date: 10.07.2026 When listening to the new single 'Separate the Sage' by the talented New York-based singer/songwriter K Abby Jasper, I can clearly feel the personal experiences behind it, as well as the desire to grow while facing difficult moments in life. The track positions itself somewhere between lofi-folk and dream pop, revealing a pleasant, melancholic texture with emotional, yet catchy melodies that go straight to the heart. The artist's voice brings a storytelling, almost soothing character to the production, while sounding subtly veiled and blurred. Meanwhile, the acoustic guitar creates a gentle harmonic foundation through its soft picking, and it does not take long for the atmospheric electronic riffs to appear, perfectly enhancing the dreamy, subtly psychedelic vibe. There is also a slightly dark and reflective side, accompanied by a sense of vulnerability that matches the idea expressed in the lyrics.

Neon Rodeo – Romeo (Indie Folk)

🕑 2 min | Text: Adrian Release Date: 30.07.2026 The new single 'Romeo' by Neon Rodeo is far more than a classic love song, revealing itself within seconds as a true queer country and Americana gem with a strong identity. Above all, I can feel a moving euphoria in the vocals that brings a positive and incredibly joyful vibe. From the very first listen, the melody immediately proves to be an earworm, while the fast rhythm invites you to move and perhaps even dance. I enjoy the refreshing energy in the chorus, as well as the touch of romance with its laid-back and carefree feel. 'Romeo' is also a song that gives me exactly that timeless Western flair I love so much! Moreover, I cannot think of a better musical companion for a spontaneous road trip right now, perfectly capturing the feeling of summer and its nostalgic charm. Make sure to listen to 'Romeo' in full so you do not miss the short but virtuosic guitar solo in the second half.

Another album that is getting a lot of praise and it's always one that is hard to hate. The songwriting is much more transparent and prevalent than what I have noticed before and the album is a much more somber tone and moody than her previous work starting with the artwork. I went back and looked and back in 2021 I really really enjoyed her work on Punisher (rightfully so). Phoebe isn't necessarily meant for me, or at least I keep telling myself that, but I can really appreciate her artwork and lane that she's carved for herself especially over the past 5 years from my first review of that + Boygenius.

🕑 1 min | Text: Franklin Release Date: 14.08.2026 In the indie scene, Alex G has long been an established artist whose guitar sound has already inspired me in the past. Together with Paul Buchanan, the talented singer/songwriter has released a fabulous folk/pop collaboration that reveals not only heartwarming melodies but also impressive cinematic elements. I really enjoy the soft, narrative voice, which gives the track a gently melancholic tone. The experimental strings in the accompaniment also create a beautiful effect.
