Itasca

The pseudonym of indie folk musician Kayla Cohen, Itasca's wispy voice and guitar-picking style are reminiscent of the gentler branch of the singer/songwriter era, with traces of the timeless folk songs of centuries past. After making her Itasca debut with the self-released solo recording Grace Riders on the Road in 2012, she presented her ethereal acoustic songs with a backing band for the first time on her third album, 2016's Open to Chance, continuing in a similar fashion on 2019's Spring. She revised her approach without abandoning her gauzy, sighing style on 2024's Imitation of War, a denser, trippier outing that favored electric guitars. After taking up the guitar at age 13, Cohen experimented with noise and drone before settling into a delicate, amber-toned folk. She released a handful of cassettes and CD-Rs under her own name while still living in her home state of New York. After relocating to Los Angeles, she issued her full-length Itasca debut, Grace Riders on the Road, in 2012. The home-recorded follow-up, Unmoored by the Wind, was issued by Matt Mondanile's New Images label in 2014. An eight-track instrumental cassette called Ann's Tradition appeared a year later on Perfect Wave. Again led by voice and acoustic guitar, 2016's Open to Chance featured a full band. It was released by Paradise of Bachelors, which also issued her like-minded fourth album, Spring, in 2019. Itasca underwent a bit of a sonic shift on her next album. Although still languid and airy in nature, 2024's Imitation of War was a more psychedelic, electric guitar-based effort that elicited sounds of the very late '60s. Engineered and co-produced by Robbie Cody (Wand, Cordovas), it featured Cohen on guitars and members of Wand and Gun Outfit on bass and drums.
