Basic Folk – Peter Mulvey

Aug 11, 2022

Basic Folk - Peter Mulvey

Milwaukee-born Peter Mulvey has, along with classical duo SistaStrings, made an anti-fascist record. According to Peter, ā€œto make an antiā€“fascist record, you must keep kindness and compassion in the foreground.ā€ Love is the Only Thing goes from family, to politics, to family, to racism and back to family. Itā€™s as optimistic and introspective as it is filled with “running out of a burning building” type of songs. All the while, Peter is joined by powerful, thoughtful and extremely talented musicians in Monique and Chauntee Ross.

Lots has happened in Peterā€™s life since his last album. He originated himself in New England, fell in love and got married, a pandemic, and heā€™s become a father. All these eek their way into the songs on the new album. Particularly poignant is his co-write with his partner, the song about their possible future as parents (good luck not crying to all the parents out there!) Donā€™t worry if you didnā€™t catch all the Buddhist references, we talk about each one in finite detail. Enjoy!
