If It's Too Loud...

British Columbia's Jesse Roper is making folk music for giant festivals. His latest single, "Right Now," takes the normally quiet and personal genre and makes it huge. Sure, there are other folk/Americana artists that play arenas, but they typically lose what makes folk great. "Right Now" is a huge arena ready folk/rock song that keeps the true spirit of folk alive, despite being a huge rock song.

It's wonderfully intense and laid back, and mixes the two seemingly disparate sounds together wonderfully. Guitarist/vocalist Rachel Aggs explains the song as "...  quite literal, thinking about the edge of the earth -  how people interpret the planet, how you can sometimes forget the enormity of the  world and the universe and how small that can make you feel."  You can watch the video for "Horizon" below. Horizon , the new album from Trash Kit, will be out July 5 on Upset the Rhythm. You can pre-order a copy here . For more on Trash Kit, check them out on Facebook and Twitter .
