Stefan J. Selbert - “Sugar Peas”

Los Alamos, California-based folk artist Stefan J. Selbert returns to us with a fresh, stripped-back single: “Sugar Peas.”

For those of you looking for a raw and heartfelt ride through introspection, you have come to the right place. Selbert has the tremendous gift of filling the sonic landscape with authenticity, as demonstrated in “Sugar Peas,” with the folksy and rural sounds of delicately finger-plucked guitar strings.

Once Selbert’s vocal performance is underway, you will understand exactly why “Sugar Peas” hits our niche for the genre. The universe has granted him with a voice that delicately conveys the raw emotion required in order to rise above the others in a seemingly endless sea of folk music.

“Sugar Peas” remains quite sparse in its arrangement, but the emergence of a subtle vocal harmony at key moments elevates the track through the genre’s ceiling. And for a bit of ear candy, additional layers of guitar reveal themselves, imbuing delicious, melodic lines amidst the song’s chill, nostalgic sound.
