RCFSV Mixtape

The Rock County Folk Symposium may well be our favorite part of the summer, and we’re over the moon about sharing this mix with you. On Saturday, August 23rd, join us in the safe zone of Camp Rotamer and let the antidote of live music, local food, and interactive art steel you against the encroaching madness and heal what ails you. The main stage artists have all handpicked a piece to share with you. For a field test, retrieve your headphones and bunker down – if your body and soul feel rejuvenated it is in your best interest to enter the quarantine zone and seek the full treatment. Let heritage lead you home.

slow dancing with one of my interests

crash – High Wall

The reedy sway of crash‘s voice will pull you in, come hell or high water. Lamenting the loss of his native New Orleans home, crash simultaneously presents himself with strength and vulnerability. Everything he knew and loved may have been lost to the flood, but he rises above and lets the beauty float up and out from the earthy guitar and slow dance of slogging through loss.

Orenda Fink – Ace of Cups

On “Ace of Cups,” Orenda Fink‘s (Azure Ray) warm voice skates over ice-blue electronic melody. The structure of the synthesizer brings Fink’s details into focus – you can hear her breath, the movement of her lips,  the roundness of her vowels. The effect is strikingly and appropriately intimate.
