We couldn’t help but love this “shy-gaze” (their words, not ours) from Australia’s Sylvia. Recorded in a literal storage container (where the band practices), “Fold Imaginary” has all the elements of a captivating live performance in an actually listenable package. Maybe we’re just suckers for down-tuned guitars mixed with delicate and endearing vocals, but this one has sincere, late-90s emo vibes a la Rainer Maria or early Appleseed Cast with a hint of modern day fuzz (think Pity Sex).
You can also find “Fold Imaginary” on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.
