[FOLK] Hailing from western Massachusetts, Parsonsfield is a folk band that delivers emotionally heavy yet pop-sensible Americana music. Their latest album, 2016’s Blooming Through The Black was recorded in a warehouse in an industrial section of Farmington River in Collinsville, Connecticut. What drew the band to the setting was its “reverberant, reactive space,” and having to sweep away a few layers of sawdust didn’t stop them from turning it into the recording studio of their vision. If their goal was to create a spacious indie folk album, they achieved it, as Blooming Through The Black spreads out in the atmosphere around you, even when all you’re hearing are a few layers of acoustic guitar and lead vocalist Christ Freeman’s penetrating voice. Catch Parsonsfield at Babeville’s 9th Ward this Thursday, July 13, presented by Dan Smalls Presents.
