Avi Kaplan - 'Sweet Adeline Pt.2'


Nashville based singer-songwriter, Avi Kaplan reflects on a failed relationship on dazzling folk-americana single, ‘Sweet Adeline Pt. 2’, taken from his new EP, ‘I’ll Get By’, out now via Fantasy Records.


’Sweet Adeline Pt.2’ is the sweeping centrepiece of Avi Kaplan’s new seven-track EP, ‘I’ll Get By’ and arguably the most emotionally stirring cut on the EP. Featuring haunting arpeggiating acoustic guitar, radiant pedal steel and rousing harmonies, ‘Sweet Adeline Pt.2’ is a stomping and wistful cut of organic, americana-folk that poetically and poignantly draws on natural imagery to explore the theme of a failed relationship as Kaplan explains:

Often times I’m much better sharing my heart with music than just with words. I wanted the production to embody the sadness of a failed relationship but keep it lighthearted enough to still capture the feeling of looking back on the beautiful times we had with reverence.”


A startlingly beautiful piece of earthy, cinematic-influenced music that despite its sorrow, shines incandescent.
