Holodec - TRU FOLK LP
footsteps, car horns, a drawer sliding shut.
wind chimes, family voices, street corners.
bus stops, parks, a dog barking, a fight on TV.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Taipei, Oakland, Keelung, San Gabriel Valley, South City.

It draws from a 15-year archive of field recordings that capture the ordinary music of lived life. Rather than aspiring to aesthetic refinement or spiritual escape, TRU FOLK exists at street-level. It approaches sound as a vernacular practice that values what is common and humanmade. The album functions as a record of presence, tracing how people live, move, and endure through shared environments. In doing so, it extends the idea of folk music into the realm of daily listening, creating a document of survival and place.
