It’s fitting that Philadelphia guitarist Victoria Rose and Baltimore producer/musician Stone Filipczak named their band @ (pronounced “At”) — a symbol that calls to mind the detachment of an email exchange or a Twitter mention. The folk-pop duo created their debut album Mind Palace Music almost entirely remotely from, sending each other recordings over iMessage from their respective cities throughout fall/winter 2020. But although its creators were 100 miles away, the 11-track album gleams with a sense of closeness, tied together with @’s penchant for deeply personal and candid lyrics. Originally released in April 2021, the album is getting a reissue from Carpark on February 17, 2023. Rose and Filipczak are just as inspired by the thoughtful delicacy of ambient pioneers like Laurie Spiegel as they are by the timeless quality of singer-songwriters like Vashti Bunyan. You can feel the influence of those ‘70s folk greats on songs like “Where’d You Put Me,” a drum-free incantation that culminates with a flute solo from Filipczak. Elsewhere, @ evoke the tender drone and foolproof melodies of Elliott Smith, Alex G, or Sparklehorse, like on the spare acoustic ditty “Friendship is Frequency” or the bittersweet “Cut From Toxic Cloth”: “While I’m waiting for my mind and face to sync/I smile to my heart and I think/I like you just the way you are,” Filipczak murmurs on the latter. A subtle eeriness looms in the background throughout Mind Palace Music, preventing it from feeling too outdated or hackneyed. With an affinity for blending digital with analog elements, @ describe Mind Palace Music as “hyperfolk,” though the record never feels self-indulgent — hitting the sweet spot between pleasantly familiar and refreshingly innovative. “We were pretty aware of trying to make something well-crafted that would hold up,” Filipczak says. “I was stoked that I could show some of the tracks to my grandma and she would be able to dig it. It probably doesn’t sound that different from, like, Simon and Garfunkel to her.” @ test their limits further on songs like the chugging closer “My Garden,” where Rose and Filipczak’s striking arrangements build to a triumphant coda as Rose mulls over the frustrations of a relationship’s natural ebbs and flows and the “curse” of desire: “I don’t want intensity, no/Just a way to warmth and amity,” she sings. @ know that some of the most rewarding moments in life don’t come easily, and Mind Palace Music is no exception. But sometimes, even the hard work flows out naturally: “It was truly a something from nothing type of experience,” Filipczak says. “We just shared a bunch of music until we started collaborating, and then once we started, we didn’t want to stop.” Artist @ Genre Folk Label Carpark Records Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Parapet Star Game Letters Friendship is Frequency Boxwood Lane Where'd You Put Me Major Blue Empty First Journal Cut From Toxic Cloth Camera Phone My Garden Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Folk View Product Quick View Nic Jones Canadee-I-O Folk | Topic Records | 7", Single Released 15th September 2014 £6.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nic Jones Canadee-I-O £6.00 Genre: Folk Label: Topic Records SKU: STOP2411 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 15th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jim Ghedi & Toby Hay Jim Ghedi & Toby Hay Folk | Topic Records | 1LP Released 26th May 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jim Ghedi & Toby Hay Jim Ghedi & Toby Hay £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Topic Records SKU: TXLP615 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Shirley Collins Lodestar Folk | Domino | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 1st November 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shirley Collins Lodestar £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP389 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 1st November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jim Croce I Got A Name – 50th Anniversary Bone White vinyl Folk | BMG | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th August 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jim Croce I Got A Name – 50th Anniversary Bone White vinyl £25.00 Genre: Folk Label: BMG SKU: 4050538904550 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Devendra Banhart Mala Folk | Nonesuch | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released 24th April 2013 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Devendra Banhart Mala £35.00 Genre: Folk Label: Nonesuch SKU: 7559795968 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes CD Released Date: 24th April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Crooked Oak From Little Acorns Grow Folk | Folkland Records | 1LP Released 1st September 2022 £370.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Crooked Oak From Little Acorns Grow £370.00 Genre: Folk Label: Folkland Records SKU: nn248684 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st September 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Hollow Coves Wanderlust Folk | Nettwerk | 1LP Released 3rd March 2023 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hollow Coves Wanderlust £18.00 Genre: Folk Label: Nettwerk SKU: NMG36494 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Holly Williams The Highway Americana / Country | Georgiana Records | 1LP Released 5th April 2024 £90.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Holly Williams The Highway £90.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Georgiana Records SKU: nn283938 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Renbourn Live In Kyoto 1978 Folk | Drag City | 1LP Released 15th June 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Renbourn Live In Kyoto 1978 £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Drag City SKU: DC713 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Emily Barker The Toerag Sessions Folk | Everyone Sang | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 6th April 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Emily Barker The Toerag Sessions £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Everyone Sang SKU: ES143LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
