Mowesby & the Northern Flicker’s debut single, “Love Tangled in the Wind,” is a deeply introspective journey that blends indie-folk with post-rock influences. This Worcester-based band beautifully channels the emotional complexity of connection and resilience through a haunting arrangement. Recorded in both home studios and Mill No. 5, the track showcases meticulous craftsmanship.
The production is stellar, with co-producers Mowesby and Adam Soucy weaving dynamic textures and immersive soundscapes. The collaboration of strings by Sylvia DiCrescentis and Katelyn Mae, coupled with Andrew Davis’s evolving basslines, creates an atmospheric shift that lingers long after the final note. The virtual choir, featuring voices from Central Massachusetts, elevates the song into a communal experience, resonating deeply with its theme of unity amidst division.
Inspired by a deep-sea fishing trip and refined over a year of live performances, “Love Tangled in the Wind” carries an authenticity that feels both raw and polished. With this release, Mowesby & the Northern Flicker have set a high bar for their upcoming album. This is a must-listen for fans of Bon Iver and Sigur Rós. Add this captivating track to your playlist and follow the band on social media, you’ll want to keep them on your radar!
