I think that if we look at the simplistic harmonic structures, poeticism, and signability of modern music, we could call it a new phase of folk music (somewhat akin to what was happening during the '60s, '40s, and '20s respectively in the US - where college students donned guitars or simple instrumentation and sang from the deepest recesses of their hearts). We have a modern analog to such troubadours in the band Isabel and The Whispers" with their new release "Josefina."
The band is composed of the singer/songwriter/pianist/poetess Isabel Marcheselli, drummer Alec Menge, and guitarist Octavio Pardon. "Josefina" is a heartfelt and lovely tune with simple instrumentation that allows Marcheselli to do what she does best - sing her poetry. If you're a fan of Callers, Transister, or Rosewater Elizabeth, then you should definitely check out Isabel and the Whispers.
