Folksongs For The Afterlife

"Folksongs For The Afterlife" (EP Single, 2000)

Based in Brooklyn, New York, US of A, singer/songwriter Caroline Schultz and Chris Sizemore produce inspired electronic folk songs. Drawing on a diverse range of influences including Brian Eno, Nick Drake, The Byrds, My Bloody Valentine and Billie Holiday, Folksongs For The Afterlife display a remarkably robust song writing ability.

Like the best folk music, this new millennial take on the genre captures the beauty and heartache of life in five tracks of pure honesty. Fans of The Cocteau Twins, Curve or Death In Vegas would probably readily take to this. Another impressive addition to the Enraptured roster. 7/10
