Mori Music Finds: Gutevolk

You can find her work at Gutevolk's official website , or check out her  youtube page. I've known of Gutevolk for some time. In fact, their song "Picnic" was one of the first mori songs ever recommended to me, and it remains one of my favorites to this day. It has such a unique and charming feel! Have you ever heard Gutevolk before? If so, how did you like them? If not, I hope you enjoyed them! Happy listening!
