Chicago’s Kevin Krauter is definitely an indie folk artist to watch. His EP “Changes” features upbeat indie folk, while also tackling a songwriter style extremely well. “Fantasy Theme” (streaming below) in particular brings forth a sad, acoustic folk style over concisely poetic lyrics, reimagining a better time in life as a symbolic place or location. His voice is soft and comforting, a prevailing style throughout the entire EP. You can check out Krauter’s performance next weekend on August 12th at the Hideout alongside Parent at 9PM. – Pearse Devlin
