Indie folk releases, week 40

This week in indie folk, new albums and singles from Julia Jacklin, Mei Semones, and Ryley Walker highlight a wave of introspective songcraft. Taylor Swift's cinematic foray into the genre with 'Patient Zero' and the anniversary reissue of Bon Iver's '22, A Million' underscore the genre's expanding reach. Meanwhile, emerging artists like Bess Atwell and Madra Salach bring fresh perspectives, while collaborative projects and archival releases reflect the genre's rich, evolving tapestry.
