Finger Stylings (3ING-076), utilizes a bare bones approach to the acoustic guitar while exploring a color wheel of emotions.

Combining the drama of an orchestral score with the raw and organic nature of bedroom recordings, Sentimental Skies (E&E-034). brings intimate, dynamic storytelling to life.

Utilizing the organic sounds of acoustic guitars and hand percussion, composer Philippe Bronchtein brings out the extra shine by adding tasteful touches of Hammond organ, pedal steel, and atmospheric electronics.

Indie Folk Pop (E&E-032) is a soundtrack for moments of introspective adventure that accompany stories of wanderlust and movement.

Covering a variety of emotional, dramatic territory, the indie sounds of Fragile Indie Folk provide an effective vehicle for storytelling.
