Wolf & Moon – Before It Gets Dark – folk
In their latest album Before It Gets Dark, indie duo Wolf & Moon put their stamp on the folk genre. Although Wolf & Moon consists of only two musicians, they do not let their size limit their sound. Through modern production, Wolf & Moon creates a full sound with repeated figures, layering vocals, and contemporary beats. The use of all of these modern approaches doesn’t cloud the folk base of the music, as vocal harmonies and guitar picking guide the songs and drive them forward. One of the most intriguing aspects of Before It Gets Dark is the variety in the lead vocals. While “Garden of Potential” is led more by the male vocalist and “Like A Shotgun” is led more by the female vocalist, songs like “Before” feel more like a team effort. It’s neat to see a project that is such a collaborative effort, drawing on multiple voices. Give Before It Gets Dark a listen below!
