“As cliche as it sounds, time was the best thing for me. And compulsive shopping for vintage clothes eBay.”

This was the first thing singer/songwriter Wrabel says to me when we spoke on the phone. I discovered Wrabel through a late night search on Spotify when I jumped from one artist to the next. His song, “11 Blocks” captivated me and with the different yet realistic lyrics, I’ve kept it on my workday playlist.

It’s hard to put folk and powerful in the same genre, but Animal Years seems to make that combination happen effortlessly. Their new EP Far From Home uses the same kind of style of Lumineers, The Strumbellas, and Brandi Carlile. It’s riddled with hand-claps, catchy choruses, and a driving energy that’s so contagious.

Isabelle is an up-and-comer pushing her way to the front of the crowd. At the end of September she released a music video for her single “Unlabeled”, a body-positive anthem that praises acceptance of all backgrounds and extols the virtues of inner beauty.
