Ironbark
The Waifs are an Australian folk trio known for their energetic live performances and skillful acoustic arrangements. Ironbark, released in 2017 on their own Jarrah Records label, captures the band's matured approach to folk music—still rooted in traditional forms but expanded by years of touring and collaboration. The album features layered acoustic guitars, rich harmonies, and storytelling lyrics that draw from both personal experience and broader cultural narratives. Their sound sits comfortably within contemporary folk traditions, with elements of singer-songwriter intimacy combined with ensemble energy. The production is organic and uncluttered, letting the musicianship and vocal interplay speak directly. This is thoughtful folk music made by musicians who clearly understand both the genre's history and its contemporary possibilities.
