Portland, OR duo Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore write their Folk-Pop music from the perspective of two fictional characters: Fox, a down-and-out ‘it’ girl and Bones, a rootless bad boy with a heart of gold. They met in 2016 and released their debut EP the same year. Using their music as a canvas to paint a picture of their nomadic life experiences, they also founded Portland’s Folk Festival.
The second taster of their upcoming album “Better Land”, to be released on October 19th, is an Indie-Folk song with cheery Pop sensibilities and has a jolly, lighthearted vibe. An upbeat rhythm from both drums and tambourines leads to a jovial burst of musical spice from sprightly strings and luminous horns. Showing off their exquisite storytelling skills, this exuberant tune radiates positivity.

Los Angeles-based Madeleine Mathews, aka MAWD, is a songstress and multi-instrumentalist, who graduated with a BA in Music Industry from CSU. Inspired by the likes of First Aid Kit and Nancy Sinatra, she’s created a modern folk/rock sound with a retro feel. Thriving in the live music scene, she’s toured extensively both in the US and Scandinavia. Her debut EP was released in May 2018.
Kicking off with a groovy retro rhythm, the first taster of her sophomore EP, expected to drop early 2019, takes an infatuating 60s vibe of the classic gritty guitars and adds a contemporary twist. Tackling a powerful subject such as jealousy, her soulful, textured vocals flirt with the potent, blues-dipped, folk-rock melody full of vintage flavor and makes her an exciting fresh artist to keep a close eye on.
