That is followed by a change of lead vocalists on \u201cWhen I Go Away,\u201d a quick turn to a more aggressive, sing-a-long type of indie pop. The EP ends off with a quirky duet-ballad, which displays the band&#8217;s songwriting diversity. Combined with its intermittent drums, it&#8217;s clear that The Folk are informed songwriters, and possess a serious potential in the Canadian indie rock scene.
