Indie Folk Singer Rory Taillon Wants to Bury the “Hatchet” on New Single

• LISTEN + SHARE “HATCHET” HERE

Trained as a classical singer from a young age, alternative indie folk singer Rory Taillon’s years of study are evident in the power and control that he has over his voice. He uses his warm guitar tone, haunting lyrics, dynamic voice, layers of looping and the thumping of his kick drum to take the audience on a journey through his set from exhilarating highs to emotional lows. 

 

His song “Hatchet” is about struggling with the anxiety and frustration toward dealing with toxic people in your life. Social norms imply that you should just accept toxic behavior and abuse from certain people in your life, especially if they are family or because it’s just easier to act like they aren’t problematic or harmful. Rory asks in this song, “How can that hatchet stay buried / If you keep digging it up / For one more swing?”

“This song touches on social anxieties and the stress that comes from over thinking every aspect of what could go wrong? What did I say? Did I say the wrong thing and make things worse?” says Rory Taillon. “These touch on my own struggles with mental health issues which I feel is a theme throughout a lot of my music.”

Alternative indie folk singer Rory Taillon (pronounced Tay-lawn) has a voice that needs to be heard. Since 2012, Rory has released three albums and two EPs with his fourth full length album Now It’s Quiet being released in August of 2024 with “Hatchet” as the first single.

 

“…When Rory Taillon sings everything stops and when it starts again it’s all changed. It’s just that simple, like folk.” - Will McGuirk, Slowcity
