Featuring members of the Notwist and Tenniscoats, the avant-indie pop supergroup Spirit Fest is a charming celebration of music and friendship. The cozy yet spontaneous blend of folk, pop, and experimental improvisation on their self-titled 2017 debut reflected the band's impromptu beginnings, but later albums like 2020's Mirage Mirage and 2023's Bear in Town deepened their music while retaining its playfulness and warmth.
