Not too sure about this genre. I think someone just made it up. But it's dark and gloomy in places, has folky sounds and who knows, this pick is my stab at it, Tell me how I did. I had a few I was going to add in here, but a couple were really long, so maybe in part 2. I have been a fan of Death In June (and some of their friends) for awhile now, so that's where this came from. Some of their stuff I would not classify as Neo Folk. In fact some of these bands have put out some very good Dark Wave, Industrial, and even Pop music, but these, for me made the grade.

I really like your selection of tunes. Most of them are on heavy rotation at my house. That being said, you asked for opinions on how you did - I'd say only about half theses tracks would be called Neo Folk (which you are correct, a genre that has some murky ties to bad stuff, however there is a lot of wonderful music and bands that are not part of that scene). I get the vibe you are going for and its quite good, more akin to ethereal dark ambient with folk elements. That dark mid-evil sound many bands try to re-create. Looking forward to what part 2 might have in store.
ReplyDeleteSo am I. Have just a little bit of it done... Dark ambient is a great characterization
DeleteGood listen! Talking neo-folk I must Shout: ROME
