Bung’s Impressionistic Indie Folk Song “What I’ve Found” Sketches the Edges of Psychological and Social Ambiguity

Guitars sketch in almost impressionistic fashion the textural tones at the beginning of “What I’ve Found” by Bung. The guitars fade out and re-enter as minimal figures once the vocals begin with a strong and intimate presence. Bung’s voice sounds channeled with a directness as background drones swell and cast a lingering warmth drifts and winds with the trailing guitar lines. The enigmatic lyrics about being confronted by your own limitations and your willingness to adapt to those of others feel like statements as much as observations and embody the ambiguity of the lived experience of navigating an uncertain psycho-social landscape. Fans of Julia Holter’s pop experimentalism and Joanna Newsom’s willingness to go off any folk convention may appreciate this song and the rest of Bung’s new EP Here too, where to (out November 27, 2025).
