Digging myself a Peatbog Faeries hole at the moment – love the mix of trad Scots stuff and electronica but finding some of their stuff a little too ‘polite’ at times.
Does the fount of all musical knowledge that is STW know of other artists that I might want to check out in a similar vein.
The opening track of Blackhouse is the kind of stuff I’m after. Folktronica I guess? So far only really got Alt-J on my list and I knew about them already.
Sounds like Irish folk music with some synth swooshes. I recommend getting all manner of Irish Folk Music, also a synthesizer app, and then jamming over the top with swooshes! (mrs P says ‘it’s like Riverdance combined with electronic sounds)
Afro Celt Sound System? It’s going back a bit
Have you discovered celtic folktrance?? Or celtic spacefolk? I’m guessing. Quite far from my general cup of mushroom tea, but I’ll have a look later. Hark? Is that the
Gong? (Wanders off into the gloaming im search of electric cheese…)
EDIT: late in, another house vote:
The Charlie Daniel’s Band – The Devil Went Down To Georgia’?
Maybe give that a wobble?
Or some folky techno-polka!
(Some of the youtube comments are hilarious, but I quite like the music too. No fish? – no foul, no socks? – no shoes!)
Already a fan of the Afro Celts and Imagined Village, and familiar with a few of the other suggestion already too.
What I have in my head is the energy of folk punk but with electronica elements… Maybe I’ve just gone a niche too far and will have to bust my synths and software out of retirement and try my own hand at it.
