Having carved out a gorgeous niche for herself as an engrossing indie-folk artist who’s nuanced and thoughtful sound feels endlessly captivating and charming, Dutch artist Nelleke has released the perfect embodiment of what makes her sound feel so alluring in the form of her EP bird / on concrete.

A highlight from the EP is the intimate and quietly powerful single ‘terracotta flowers’, a track with a stunning instrumental that feels nuanced and packed full of sonic quirks despite it’s stripped-back style, allowing for the artist’s soft vocals and thoughtful lyrics to feel as commanding and captivating as possible. The track is a wonderful showcase of what makes Nelleke feel arresting and special, and it is tough to find yourself not sucked into the artist’s distinctive sonic world by the time that it ends.
