Brooklyn’s very own Swoon Lake have bred a new strand of indie music: "ghost folk." The band’s own description of their music is peculiar yet accurate; there is an aura of mystery about their tracks, the ambient synths and choral harmonies on their newest song "Bloom" seemingly glide right through you. Grounding elements are the lead vocals and certain electric guitar rhythms; there’s seldomly a full drum kit to speak of, but sometimes, like a friendly giant, the bump of the kick drum surfaces from below. Swoon Lake’s new self-titled EP is out on Friday, catch their release show on 5.25 at The Glove in Brooklyn. – Geena Kloeppel
