Canadian duo Mama's Broke are masters of crafting haunting traditional folk songs with a modern feel. Their latest is "Narrow Line," which is a laid back song with a certain intensity that can't help but draw you in. The song has a somewhat positive feel with a disquieting sense of foreboding that keeps peeking out. As beautiful as the song is, it's also going to make you feel a little anxious. Getting back to the haunting quality, it's like staying in a gorgeous old house and enjoying yourself, except you can't quite tell if you're imagining seeing something move in that corner. That's just the vibe of Mama's Broke. As gorgeous as the music may be, there is a darker meaning underneath the music.
You can watch the video for "Narrow Line" below. Narrow Line is due out May 13 on Free Dirt Records and can be pre-ordered here. For more on Mama's Broke, check out the artist's website.
