golda may - Cracks

By seamlessly fusing elements of dreamfolk and alt-rock, the mystique surrounding golda may might still be budding, but it’s clear based on sound alone that she’s already developed a winning formula for herself. She cites some of her influences as Feist, Grizzly Bear, and Radiohead, and if I had to guess, I’d say Phoebe Bridgers might be found somewhere on that list as well. But what she’s created in “Cracks” is something uniquely her own. It’s a dreamy and ethereally atmospheric tune with some themes that surely run in parallel to may’s own life. And furthermore, it’s a song that reminds us to never take for granted a songwriter’s ability to create art that’s both poignant and melodically dynamic. If golda may keeps up at this pace, we’ll be seeing her on the same concert ticket as those aforementioned artists (OK, maybe not Radiohead) in no time.
