Open Submissions 2012 Top Five: Little Red Lung

Early in 2012, the avant-indie foursome, Little Red Lung, released their debut self-titled EP, helmed by songstress Zoe-Ruth Erwin, who tucked herself away in the foothills of East Tennessee to gain inspiration. The result is a sound that is pristine and crisp; organic instruments mixing with ambient soundscapes, to create a lush, ethereal atmosphere. Erwin’s effortless vocals bend at times towards folk, and at times more operatic, but with an ominous bite that leaves you with a sense of dread, as if there is something sinister looming underneath the beauty.- Jacqueline Caruso
