New Year, New -Me- Folk. In this video I put together a cozy indie folk playlist for 2026—11 fresh tracks from the Epidemic Sound library that feel like a quiet walk from winter into spring. You’ll hear artists like rakey, Victor Lundberg, Will Harrison, The Eastern Plain, Hennie Hun, Roy Williams, Preston Lovinggood, and Ludlów, all flowing in that warm, acoustic, mellow lane I love for studying, working, or just breathing for a minute. What I like about this compilation is how it moves through real indie-folk emotions without getting heavy in a distracting way: nostalgia (“red and gold paint the sky”), soft heartbreak (“I will be the last to leave”), and that gentle reset energy that fits the start of a new year. And by the time “Breathe In Breathe Out” rolls in, it lands like a reminder to slow down—“keep your peace,” “just relax,” and let the good flow. If you need a calm background that still feels human and lyrical, this one’s made for your headphones and your to-do list.
