Today, HM is proud to premiere “Cedar,” the brand new single from Texas-based instrumental collective, Folklore. The song is set to release tomorrow, April 15, but you can get an early listen here:
“Cedar” finds the band sharpening their genre-bending skills with grooves that ebb and flow in energy, cascading guitar riffs, and gaping synths that both disarm and guide listeners through to the final seismic movement.
We spoke to the band about their latest release:
“‘Cedar’ is a bridge between the Matter EP and the start of a more exploratory dive into genre fluidity. We collaborated via Zoom, Discord, and the occasional long drive to create a song that’s extremely fun for us, and we hope everyone has just as much fun listening to it.”
For Folklore, inspiration surfaces anywhere there is feeling, extracted from a riff or progression, their vast array of musical tastes, an existential muse, or the tangible feeling of picking up instruments and crashing sounds together with your friends. A self-produced effort, “Cedar” marks the first of what is to come for the rising trio.
