Into A Dusty Dream Where Gal Musette Reshapes Folk Music

Sometimes a song can make you feel many emotions that you don't know or try to forget. Californian indie-folk artist Gal Musette’s second single ‘Summertime’ reminds us of our old memories; happy but messy, thrilling but painful, as if it never really existed. It feels like ‘a dusty dream where the edges aren’t so tangible’, as she says in her song. The song is about the story of a broken friendship. She reintroduces this hybrid folk genre with a modern twist, including vocal layering and a melody that becomes increasingly more complex throughout. Her album Backwards Lullaby features songs like Ghost, and a single featuring Rufus Wainwright. We talked to Gal Musette about her album, upcoming concerts, and folk music.
