If warm, wonderfully crafted folk is a sound that appeals to you, look no further than Berlin-based Still Parade (Niklas Kramer), who's just released his latest tune, "Beach". Still Parade has floored us before with his silky vocals and disarmingly beautiful tunes, and his latest offering continues the trend. Understated and peaceful, "Beach" is both captivating and uplifting, featuring Kramer's delicate voice hovering over a blanket of warm guitars. From the twinkle of them opening the track, to the fluid percussion of the final verse, "Beach" definitely recalls some of Bon Iver's more lovely efforts, but make no mistake—Kramer is decidedly his own artist. Still, Parade utilizes meticulous production and moving vocals to forge his own lovely sound, and the slow burn of "Beach" indicates that he is a songwriter of rare ability. This is the final track to be released from their forthcoming Fields EP that's due to be released on September 19th. Pre-order on iTunes.
