Dutch-American Folk duo Grafted Culture shine on their haunting new single ‘Change Of Winds’.
Poetic lyricism, finger-picked guitar riffs, airy production and subtle keys come together under the duo’s effortless vocal harmonies to create a Celtic infused soundscape packed with emotion and depth.
Atmospheric, dark and dreamy, the duo demonstrate their prowess as performers and writers.
Speaking about the track, Grafted Culture said: “Change of Winds is a reflection of the growth and change we have undergone both as musicians as well as individuals. Like most of our music, we were seeking to create a track that represents the many facets of a complex human experience, specifically, the process of navigating this dynamic, inconstant life while maintaining a sense of purpose and integrity.
The lyrics came first and provided a beautiful framework of pain contrasted with the healing balm of experience gained and strength of character shaped. People will fail us and situations will arise that threaten to uproot our sense of self. We are in a constant state of being altered and changed.
Living is a demanding process that requires acceptance and forgiveness. But this process of adapting to our experiences and moving forward in the context of an altered life is essential to human existence. We can learn to navigate the ever-changing winds of our lives, allowing it to shape us if we can allow ourselves to enter humbly into the process of growth and change.”
Not only a fascinating up and coming band but also demonstrating what caring people they are, the duo use profits from their music to run a community centre that offers free services in the arts as well as personally working with those struggling with dementia and autism.
A single that shows huge potential and two people with immense passion for their art and for humanity, Grafted Culture deserve all the success in the world!
