GoldenOak’s music is rooted in the natural landscape. Their songs move in an organic, grounding direction, shaped by rich, folk-influenced sibling harmony. Fronted by siblings Zak and Lena Kendall, the Maine-based band has built a steady and growing fan base through a sound that feels both intimate and quietly powerful. This approach is clearly reflected in their new album, <a href="spotify:album:1gzGRHynDIEjRuIayCGBNV" data-name="All the Light in Autumn">All the Light in Autumn</a>.
The record deepens GoldenOak’s sound, building on their indie folk foundation with the addition of drum machines and synths, while keeping folk-influenced vocal harmonies front and center. Lyrically, rather than offering easy answers, All the Light in Autumn invites listeners to slow down and reflect on responsibility, connection, and care for the places we live in. The album artwork mirrors this approach, with nine birds representing the nine songs and the individual stories within them.
Beyond their recorded work, GoldenOak tours nationally and has shared the stage with artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:37eqxl8DyLd5sQN54wYJbE" data-name="Hiss Golden Messenger">Hiss Golden Messenger</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0JGGxsAD1Eg4X9AcKNcxEB" data-name="Sierra Hull">Sierra Hull</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:72XY3HrDdFfZXNZFCT9Zh1" data-name="Blitzen Trapper">Blitzen Trapper</a>. They also host their own music festival in their hometown of Farmington, Maine. Under the Oaks Music Festival is a two-day event featuring live music, workshops, and camping along the Sandy River. Now in its fourth year, the festival has become a pillar of the community the band is building.
