Ginko Bugs is a singer-songwriter and alt folk artist with a storytelling magnificence that just fills up the whole room. His bright baritones, sweet sentiments, and affecting melody lines is one big feel-good balloon that seems to be ever-inflating. His latest release is ‘Close to October’, an acoustic rock love song in which the protagonist is asking his lover to stick around and realize that they are meant to be with each other.
His baritones are easily the highlight of the track. Its expressive timbre, evocative inflections, and airy textures seem to carry so much character and candor. The beats are soft and mellow, the guitar work is warm and smooth, and the harmonies are full. It has a very folk rock feel, with the 70s melodic edge that The Beatles came to be known for. So you’ll feel that sense of familiarity, simplicity, and sweetness well up in you. It is nostalgic, especially the melancholy that underlies the protagonist’s hope, romantic, and poetic and aesthetically pleasing. It’s comfort and warm enough to keep you cozy this coming fall.

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
