If It's Too Loud...

Her latest single, "I Don't Think About You at All," fits right into what we've come to love about her music. It mixes a more traditional style of folk with a more mainstream, almost folk pop sound. This latest single is more traditional than the previous ones from her upcoming album, but there is still plenty of folk pop elements in the song. The song starts off fairly lighthearted, but heaviness and an odd sense of foreboding slowly comes in throughout the song. For a song as straightforward and simple as "I Don't Think About You at All," this one contains some interesting elements. Angela Autumn says about her new single: “Very similar to Mountain Stream, this song was me integrating some deeper traumas and writing about them. I truly feel that we see ourselves most clearly through our creati...

Yesterday she released the song as a single, and it's just as great. The song fits snugly into the singer-songwriter/folk spectrum of music, but there's just something a little unique about the song. There's a haunting, almost noise rock lite element to the song. As Autumn's vocals reach a hypnotic quality, the music starts to swirl around her in a nearly supernatural way.

Angela Autumn says of her latest single: "This is a song about the tobacco spirit.  In many cultures, particularly American indigenous, tobacco is regarded for its purification abilities. I don’t think many folks see tobacco as ‘hea...

Photo by Avery Norman Angela Autumn was one of our favorite discoveries at this year's Green River Festival, and now the Nashville based musician is back with a new single. "Mountain Stream" contains everything that won over the Backporch Stage crowd last weekend. It bridges the gap between folk-pop and a more traditional, Appalachian style. The song has this interesting almost electronic element to it, kind of like an indie rock meets trip hop vibe to go with the banjo. Despite such non-folk elements, "Mountain Stream" is a folk song. Plus, the whole thing has a certain sense of psychedelia, giving Autumn a fully unique sound we're now fully invested in. Angela Autumn says of her latest single: “The song ‘Mountain Stream’ is a slack-tuned anthem about escaping something. It came to me one night when I was on a medicine journey and felt very otherworldly. I began singing words that did not feel like my own. But I think I was unearthing something deep inside ...
