Indie Quick Picks – Featuring Between//Roads, Coral Palms, lotusbliss and The Clockworks

Between//Roads

Genre : Indie Folk

Bio : Dublin/Meath Indie-Folk Band Between//Roads have released their new single, ‘Blue Eyes’.Formed in 2018, B//R began as an indie-folk 2-piece who sought to create catchy tunes similar to some of their favourite artists. B//R weren’t long in realising that their aspirations surpassed their set-up and in order to achieve the sound they were looking for, they needed to turn B//R into a 5-piece; in doing so, they instantly got closer to their musical vision. 

Track: Blue Eyes

Why We Like It: It’s a bright indie folk song that showcases the expanding sound of Between//Roads.The band cut haunting soundscapes with jaunty guitar and jangly percussion to create a compelling and magical listening experience. With rumbling drums creating a sense of turbulence through the earthy folk and sweet melody, the song has a sense of mystery. The track broods and haunts between vibrant indie moments as backing vocals coo creating a ghostly dimension to this dynamic tune. Richly crafted with a cinematic crescendo, catchy chorus and dark luring verses, ‘Blue Eyes’ is a fantastic single.
