Daydream
In Daydream, their debut album, Backyard Folk Club venture to peep out of the scope of Folk songs. As a result, these 11 songs range from piano-vocals through to folk ballads sometimes blended with more dreamlike atmospheres. They are driven by two female voices, constantly interweaving, casting a crude - yet honest and sometimes moved - look upon their condition. Instruments that had little been heard in the Folk Club - drums and electric guitars - make their appearance and add density to the songs. Nonetheless, Backyard Folk Club stick to what has been their trademark since their first EP The Broken Spoon (2015) : warmth and simplicity. And by adding touches of ocarina, organ and violin, they have made this opus a captivating Folk patchwork.

Se projeter ensuite dans l’intimité d’un Folk Club pour interpréter ces chansons en accordant deux voix de femmes, des guitares et quelques percussions.
En somme, Backyard Folk Club n’aime rien tant que savourer la spontanéité de la création musicale dans la chaleur et l’authenticité du moment…
