Post Description

This is folk-rock with a slight retro twist, performed in a beautifully loose manner, seemingly sometimes on the point of collapse, but all the better for that edginess. I can hear all kinds of classic reference points – Buffalo Springfield, America, the Grateful Dead, and the Allman Brothers, for example – but it’s all delivered in a scuffed-up, garage-y, lo-fi style. More recent ‘Cosmic Americana,’ so to speak, such as Sean Thompson’s Weird Ears, Color Green, and even early My Morning Jacket also spring to mind, and like all of the aforementioned, it’s bursting with melody, great harmonies, and is seriously groovy stuff. I’m loving it, but as good as it is, I must protest the album’s brevity at a scant 23 minutes.

Low Rent Folk follows 2015’s Lifelines and Lovelines, Elan’s Diner (2020), last year’s Travellers in Distress, and a 20-track compilation from 2019 entitled Everything You Ever Wanted to Hear…, all of which were issued on TRPFN. Across the five releases, the band – sorry, bannd – appears to have a fluid-ish personnel, but the current line-up consists of Watt, Marie-Noëlle Reyntiens, Lewis Braden and Blaise Watt, the latter of whom has also issued material of a fractured folk nature on the same label. Watt’s previous releases should also float your boat if you like Low Rent Folk.
