Modern day muted low-fi ambient hippie music
This low-fi, indie dream from The New Pornographers’ Kathryn Calder is the perfect soundtrack to a rainy day in the woods. Her smooth, feminine voice cuts through a fog of hazy, ambient noise comprised of effortless, simple drums, quiet, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, and even some woodwind instruments, among others. Each instrument plays its own little thing, and the whole song comes together to create beautiful, relaxing tracks. However, the hands-down star of the entire record is Calder‰’s ethereal, soothing voice. Beautiful harmonies and goosebumps-inducing falsettos are layered over structured background vocals that uniquely become an integral part of the chord progression, a genius songwriting technique. All of this comes together to create beautiful songs about love and life. So cozy up with your bae by the fire, and put on Kathryn Calder as the music slowly lulls you to sleep to your cuddling.
