There’s been a bit of a glut of folk rock in the past decade and a half with the success of various artists. But Origami Ghosts distinguishes itself from the pack on “Lost and Proud” with not just an expansive and upbeat melody incorporating a diverse instrumentation, but because there’s something a little subversive in its songwriting. Rhythms intersect as through two or more streams of the music are in a dance together, a method akin to what Camper Van Beethoven and Meat Puppets did on their early records as they inverted punk and mixed it with non-Western musical ideas and folk in the case of the former, and psychedelic rock and country with the latter. And there is an affectionate tone and exuberance for life in the song that is irresistible. The group will soon release its album Healthy Travel Potions on July 12 but for now listen below and follow the band at the links provided.
