Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, Troll Dolly is the experimental folk project of drummer/composer Jen Yakamovich who weaves vivid soundscapes with intricate percussion patterns, layered strings, pads, samples, hammers, and textured vocals.
Watch her latest video for Microcosms; the lead single is taken from her forthcoming EP, Heaven’s Mini Mart, due out on June 23rd. The video was shot on Super8 film by Jen Yakamovich (Troll Dolly) and band member Trevor Lang at the Victoria Butterfly Gardens.
The light and openness of her music holds a clever sophistication that’s both playful and guileless. She also looks perfectly at home in that butterfly house with her analogue camera (Camera geekery – it looks like an old Canon Rangefinder). She’s a name to watch for as she deserves a much wider audience.
Microcosms is also our Song of the Day.
