This edition of Indie Folk BOPS leans into shadowy storytelling and emotional honesty. Werewolves and Vampires is a confessional folk track that feels cinematic, intimate, and quietly fearless, rooted in lived experience rather than metaphor for metaphor’s sake.
Ash Miles – Werewolves and Vampires
Ash Miles delivers a gripping indie folk song that feels brave, personal, and impossible to ignore
Ash Miles steps into darker territory on Werewolves and Vampires, a haunting folk song built on raw lyricism and restrained intensity. Written by Miles and composed alongside Tom Bailey, the track unfolds like a private confession, drawing the listener into a world shaped by desire, vulnerability, and self examination.
Recorded at Ignite AMR Studio with Nicholas Meeks, the honestly stunning production keeps things sparse and focused, allowing Ash’s vocal delivery to carry the weight of the story. There is a sense of tension throughout, not loud or dramatic, but simmering beneath the surface, giving the song its emotional pull.
Inspired by Ash’s own experiences within the BDSM lifestyle, Werewolves and Vampires feels less like provocation and more like truth telling. It is folk music that refuses to sanitise real life, offering honesty instead of comfort.
This is indie folk for listeners who value storytelling over polish and emotional depth over surface beauty. A bold and compelling release that marks Ash Miles as an artist unafraid to put real life at the centre of his work.
