Indie folk releases, week 38

This week in indie folk, new music from Helena Deland, Kevin Morby, and Lizzy McAlpine highlights introspective themes and evolving soundscapes. Releases include Ex:Re’s upcoming album Save As, Lucy Dacus’s orchestral performance preview, and a wave of singles from artists like Paris Paloma, Libby Ember, and Amistat. Collaborations and reimaginings continue to shape the genre, with nods to past works and new artistic directions. The season also brings reflections on legacy, from Ben Kweller’s anniversary release to Smog’s 25-year-old track and Taylor Swift’s visual presence on streaming platforms.
