Indie/alt-folk musician &Tilly welcomes the holiday season with her take on 17th-century carol "I Saw Three Ships,” delivering a playful and mellow reimagining of the holiday classic
Shaping an immersive tale led by soft vocal lines and steadily building sonics, the track unfolds stories of childlike whisperings laden with excitement about the ships arriving. The layers start of light, sway with energy and calm in equal parts as the rich soundscape pulls you in.
The choral instrumentation layering bells, xylophone, glockenspiel, accordion, castanets, orchestral drum, cello, and piano into a whimsical and textured world which leaves us feeling steeped in tradition underscored by a glow of modernity.
Offering a carefully crafted world of storytelling, &Tilly’s version is playful yet profound. The track’s warmth and vibrance is elevated by a vivid animated video by Marty Müller and Olivia’s animation studio, @tyjahoda, with hand-drawn motions bringing the imagination and sense of allure nestled in the track to life.
A lush and uplifting musical experience that wraps around us with its feel-good vibe, &Tilly infuses our holiday season with sparks of childlike wonder, and a dash of folk intimacy.
