One-person pop project File Under Foliage is the work of Nashville-based QC Green, who certainly knows how to craft infectious pop gems. The descending melody of album opener “I Burnt All My Letters” has a sharp hook that pulls you into File Under Foliage’s world of bright synths and upbeat electronic percussion. The They Might Be Giants–esque “Change My Shirt” pairs clever lyrics with an elastic bassline and shuffling drum machines. The syncopated “My Name” veers pretty close to ska territory, practically begging for a Jeff-Rosenstock-style reworking more strictly adherent to that style. When lo-fi pop is done well (and let’s be clear, it’s done very well here) it’s a unique listening experience; the feeling of just hanging out, listening to someone create goofy songs with whatever equipment is available. It’s a great feeling, and one that File Under Foliage consistently delivers. - Robert Newsome

Bio
File Under Foliage is the eclectic indie pop passion project of Nashville-based songwriter and self-proclaimed 'melody gardener' QC Green. Driven by a deep love for melodicism and harmonic experimentation, FUF crafts music that blends catchy yet sophisticated melodies with adventurous chord changes, unobtrusive digital production, and clever, somewhat oblique lyrics ranging from evocative personal stories to abstract impressionism. Drawing inspiration mainly from 20th-century pop/rock sensibilities and often influenced by alternative, progressive, psychedelic, and electronic styles, QC Green's music offers a quirky yet accessible sound, rooted in a deep understanding of music theory and always aiming to provide an engaging and authentic listening experience that is as distinctive as it is memorable
"infectious pop gems ... done very well ... File Under Foliage consistently delivers"
- Robert Newsome; Bandcamp Navigator, October 2023
File Under Foliage is seeking collaborators, particularly instrumentalists (guitar, bass guitar, drums) and producers (with a good ear for mixing and sound design) who can help bring their songs to life.
