Having the Dylan biopic stirred up the indie folk flame again, Essy Sparrow breezes in as the new bright-eyed torchbearer with her latest single, "Artists Dreamers." is at once a tender time capsule of past meets present wrapped in the warmth of Sparrow's nakedly emotional narrative.
Her sound mirrors the lyricism of Bob Dylan, the majesty of Joni Mitchell, and the existential longing of Sufjan Stevens, but it's all hers. There's such an authenticity here that it feels like a handwritten letter in a quickly sent-text world.
"Artists Dreamers" is seeped in nostalgia, layered with indie lyric therapy that goes straight to the hearts. Handling production duties with the subtle genius of Jemima Coulter (of Hailaker fame), it dances delicately between folk roots and contemporary indie-pop shimmer.
Essy Sparrow is another indie-folk artist; she is a storyteller for a new generation, a strong old-soul wisdom that seeps into your bones paired with vulnerability that resonates in the present day. "Artists Dreamers" declares existence for the sensitive souls, the perpetual dreamers, and those who take comfort in the pauses and in-between notes.
