Los Angeles-based indie folk artist Mia Loucks captures pure magic with her latest track, ‘Light It Can Blind You‘, the title song from her new EP. This one’s a lesson in understated beauty, with a raw, stripped-down arrangement that draws you into an ethereal calm. Mia’s blend of acoustic guitar, delicate piano, and the occasional saxophone note come together like a cozy, twilight glow, giving the song an inviting warmth.

The organic guitar tone is especially captivating—no frills, just an honest, rustic sound that perfectly sets the vibe. Layered with her light, dream-like vocal harmonies, Mia creates a soothing atmosphere that’s as calming as it is transportive. While her influences are the likes of Elliott Smith, Leonard Cohen, and PJ Harvey, the song reminds me of Birdy and Bon Iver. Mia Loucks songsmiths a fresh musical soundscape here.
With only the essentials, Mia Loucks finds strength in simplicity, letting each note breathe. The production is top-notch, with each element—especially that guitar and those transcendent vocal harmonies—adding its own touch to a piece that feels like it’s from another world. This track’s a definite must-listen for any indie folk fan searching for a serene escape.
