For those that dig the more European sound of psych, with German motoric rhythms, that English folk whimsy and some Stereolab/Broadcast/Radiophonic electronic. Olden Yolk is the brainchild of Quilt’s Shane Butler and Caity Shaffer.

Olden Yolk’s debut ruminates on questions surrounding love, self-doubt, and locating autonomy amidst burgeoning unrest. Wrought with hazy melancholy and halcyon joy, Butler and Shaffer’s lilting vocals play off one another through a devotional dialogue, taking form in haunting choral melodies and candid rock n' roll. These songs are ecstatic odes to the life of the city; to the subway platforms, kiosks, and monuments which enliven and encompass our collectivity, elevating into an urban-psychedelia.
