Olden Yolk’s music bursts into paisley waves of freak folk splendor. Their upcoming self-titled LP focuses their aesthetic through a fish-eye lens, shaping a more mature sound that fully utilizes Caity Shaffer’s dark, velvety vocals (her band-mate Shane Butler also sings in the album). Shaffer’s voice mesmerizes best in Olden Yolk’s newly released video for “Vital Sign,” an homage that evokes Nico, Twiggy, and technicolor visions of the ‘60s. Sink into Olden Yolk’s wonderland with 02.23’s LP premiere and a performance at Union Pool on 02.24. — Amanda Ogea
