So It Was is an agile, bossa-flavored indie-rock outfit, described by Various Small Flames as marked by their “earnest heart and laidback charm.” Hailing from Louisville, KY, they just released their sophomore full-length LP,
Round the Mountain.
With a style honed through years of studying Joanna Newsom and Grizzly Bear, songwriter Daniel Lobb encourages self-reflection amidst patriarchy, white supremacy, and runaway climate disaster, all the while maintaining a “sense of casual ease” with his “distinctively welcoming delivery.”
