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 A subtle eeriness looms in the background throughout Mind Palace Music, preventing it from feeling too outdated or hackneyed.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 Shelagh McDonald Album Folk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st January 2020 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shelagh McDonald Album £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2597 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Garnet Rogers The Outside Track Folk | Snow Gooses Songs | 1LP Released 13th June 2014 £5.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Garnet Rogers The Outside Track £5.00 Genre: Folk Label: Snow Gooses Songs SKU: NN70009 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th June 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Wardruna Kvitravn – First Flight Of The White Raven Folk | Music For Nations | 2LP Released 10th June 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wardruna Kvitravn – First Flight Of The White Raven £25.00 Genre: Folk Label: Music For Nations SKU: 19439944101 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bon Iver Bon Iver, Bon Iver Folk | 4AD | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 20th June 2011 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bon Iver Bon Iver, Bon Iver £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: 4AD SKU: CAD3117 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th June 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Saxophones, The Songs of the Saxophones Folk | Full Time Hobby | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th November 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Saxophones, The Songs of the Saxophones £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Full Time Hobby SKU: FTH308LPB Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View King Creosote Astronaut Meets Appleman Folk | Domino | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 30th August 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders King Creosote Astronaut Meets Appleman £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP385 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jenn Bostic Revival Folk | Jenn Bostic Music | 1LP Released 4th May 2018 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jenn Bostic Revival £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: Jenn Bostic Music SKU: LPJEN6 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View William Elliott Whitmore Radium Death Americana / Country | Anti | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 25th March 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders William Elliott Whitmore Radium Death £18.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Anti SKU: 8714092738216 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Vashti Bunyan Just Another Diamond Day Folk | Branch Music | 180g, 1LP Released 29th March 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Vashti Bunyan Just Another Diamond Day £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Branch Music SKU: BRANCH002LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cave Singers, The No Witch Folk | Jagjaguwar | 1LP Released 23rd February 2011 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cave Singers, The No Witch £12.00 Genre: Folk Label: Jagjaguwar SKU: JAG176LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd February 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
