BeatCrave Fav: Fol Chen
Chances are that you probably haven’t heard of Fol Chen yet, but something tells me you will soon. Maybe it’s because they’re about to release their first album on Feb. 17th and just beginning to tour. There is something about them that is intriguing to listen to. Maybe it’s the fact that I have no clue what they look like? Their sound is much more dismal than what I would normally listen to and yet their lyrics, choice in instruments, and process fascinates me.
