Itasca – “Only A Traveler”

A hushed and verdant track from the rapidly approaching new Itasca album lands today and the accompanying video nicely frames it in a faded frame of Western mountains and natural ease. The last time Kayla Cohen was lurking around these parts it was on a low-key cassette of mostly instrumentals, but with Spring on the way next week she offers a proper follow up to her 2016 album Open To Chance. The song reclines in the sun, autumnal in sprit but with a California calm that means Autumn isn’t icing anyone just yet. Cohen laces the track with strings and her usual burble of guitar, giving this one more emotional heft than your average folk fingerpicker. This one should definitely be on your radar in the coming weeks. Spring is out 11/1 on Paradise of Bachelors.
