My Playlist: Motherfolk

Motherfolk 1.jpg

Cincinnati-based alt-folk band Motherfolk is equal parts raw and poetic and brings a unique authenticity to every song they sing. In addition to recently announcing a series of tour dates alongside Sherwood, they will also be re-releasing their highly anticipated sophomore album Fold in a deluxe edition this Friday, which will include new tracks, unreleased videos, and behind-the-scenes photos.

Today they share a playlist of songs they're loving exclusively with Musical Notes Global. Listen below.

"Backseat Freestyle" - Kendrick Lamar

"We first started jamming to this song when Joel put it on in the van on a long night drive on tour. For some reason we really took it and now we can't play it without everyone in the van screaming every word."

 

"Suburbs" - Sun Hotel

"This is a band we listened to a lot in college that for some reason never got the recognition they deserve."

 

"Lately (I've Been On My Back)" - BOAT

"Another low-radar band that should be way bigger than they are. This, and all their songs, make for the perfect sing alongs."

 

"Dog Problems" - The Format

"This was one of the first songs me (Nate) and Bobby ever bonded over. We duet the hell out of it."

 

"Headstrong"-Motherfolk

"Just watch the video and you'll understand why we picked this song."

 

"Pop Style" - Drake

"You just can't go wrong with Drake and Kanye"

 

"Dancing In The Moonlight (Cover)" - Toploader

"This is the best song in existence. We covered it at our album release show for Fold, so it has a special place in our hearts."

 

"Both Hands" - David Bazan

"Just a really great song. David Bazan is one of our favorite artists."

 

Motherfolk recently released the music video for the song "Ryder Robinson." Watch it here.
