I don't think we've had a multi purpose folk thread, so now we do.
The first purpose of this thread is to recommend me some folk of the wyrd/psych variety.
I like things like Fursaxa, Spires That in The Sunset Rise, The Tower Recordings or
this real media player clip, i.e. strange, mysterious, very psychedelic, and primitive sounding.
What I'd like to know is if there's old stuff that these people are particularly drawing from, bearing in mind that that link i posted is to an acid mothers temple song and how much AMT wear their influences on there sleeve, I'd say their must be old stuff like this, and I know there is a vast quantity of 60s & 70s psych folk, but it encompasses so many varieties of folk that i have no idea where to go to next after having checked out the obvious stuff like fairport convention, pentangle, john fahey, pearls before swine, incredible string band, etc, besides as much as i love those things, i want something weirder.
If batreleaser comes into this thread and writes a list of every folk music thing he's ever heard and says they're all his favourites (or some equivalent) it means he's gay.
And if someone comes in to this thread and says that things like hiphop and death metal are the true folk musics of the modern day then that means they admit that they like to give their dad blowjobs.
