If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Matt Gaillet "Cigarette" is the third single from Louisa Stancioff's upcoming album, and it's not quite like either of the pervious singles. "Gold" was a little more folk meets alt-pop, and "Nobody's Watching" had more of an indie rock sound. The third song from the Maine based artist is more of a straightforward singer-songwriter track.

The new song starts off in a more mainstream folk sort of way but then evolves into a sound more similar to Squirrel Flower or Mothers.

We were looking forward to Stancioff's upcoming album, but we're now impatiently waiting for more. Louisa Stancioff says of her new single: “There are times in life when you’re so present, so fully immersed in the moment that you can catch a glimpse of another universe, of a realm beyond our own/  It migh...

The first single from the album, "Gold," is an absolutely mesmerizing track that lives in the world between folk and alt-pop, leaning a little more into folk. Stancioff's vocals are what truly draw you in and set a song like "Gold" apart from others in the genre. Her voice just conveys so much emotion and feeling that it's impossible not to drop everything to pay attention to her. It's a fairly sparse song that is still full and lush.
