If It's Too Loud...

"love is a dying," the latest single from Cincinnati's Bailey Miller, is a quiet and intimate folk song. It's as painfully bare and stripped down as it is beautiful. That is, until around the two minute mark when the guitar shifts to electric and has a chugging menace to its sound. The song just builds and builds from there into a wailing wall of sound that just plows you over. It's almost like seeing J Mascis shift from acoustic to electric at a live show, except slowly and over a period of a few minutes. What starts off as a really good song ends up being a revelation towards the end.  You can listen to "love is a dying" below.

Last year, Bailey Miller released her debut album, Still Water.  While that album took he two years to release, the Cincinnati based artist already has a sophomore album coming out next month. "cul-de-sac," the first single off that album, goes a little more experimental folk than Still Water did. It's more of an organic sound, although it does have the same ambient sound to it. This falls somewhere between a folk festival and the chill out room at a rave, although it does share the same vibe with both. "cul-de-sac" is a beautiful song that shows an artist making her own way with a sound familiar and uniquely hers.

Photo by Vy Pham Cincinnati, OH's Bailey Miller has a unique take on the electronic/ambient musical genre. Her latest single, "222," is a laid back sonic soundscape of odd noises and her vocals. Miller keeps a much more organic sound than you typically hear with electronic music. A lot of the instrumentation sounds more acoustic and folk than computer generated, which gives "222" a more organic feel. It almost lands more in the experimental folk category, but not quite. As beautiful as Miller has made this song, it's still a challenging listen at times. It's great to hear the beauty of experimental music and not just the noise. You can listen to "222" below. Still Water is due out September 2 on Whited Sepulchre Records. The album can be pre-ordered here . For more on Bailey Miller, check out the artist on Instagram . Still Water by Bailey Miller
