We put a few songs in the MTV show Awkward recently.  ”Poetry” by Lily Frost in episode 303 and “Ghost” by Folly & The Hunter in episode 306.  Check out both songs below.

Folly and The Hunter is an indie-folk band from Montreal, channeling the American folk tradition while adding contemporary influences from indie and ambient post-rock. Their upcoming secound album (Tragic Care) was born from hundreds of hours composing and pre-recording in the bands’ practice space over last winter. The band took these songs to Breakglass Studios in April and worked with producers David Smith and Jace Lasek (Besnard Lakes) to evolve their sound. These songs hit tranquil yet sorrowful moments (akin to that of Bon Iver, Iron & Wine) and grow to huge swells and cascades (similar to the sounds of Sigur Ros, Sufjan Stevens, Devotchka). Simply beautiful compositions from a band that won’t be under the radar much longer.
