Weird folk

So Khar, what do you think about 16 horsepower?

Seven Seals is both chronologically and musically pretty much exactly halfway between All The Pretty Little Horses and Soft Black Stars. Songs like that are scattered round the whole discography really.
@ Kai: I find myself increasingly in the But, What Ends When the Symbols Shatter? camp, a place I never thought I'd really be! Btw, have you heard Down in June? They're a band that plays nothing but relaxed, occassionally slightly trip-hoppy occasionally slightly jazzy scandinavian pop covers of Death in June. I upped their album in last years wink wink thread a few months ago but it caused nary a ripple which is ludicrous because it's incredible. If you are a Rome fan (VUK PAGING VUK) then you will cream your fucking pants over this*. It is perfect totenpop, and great because it really exposes what a dang good songwriter Douglas P can be when he's not faffing about with amorphous noise/tone constructions which he's not really suited to at all. Down in June's version of some Di6 tracks (Kameradschaft for example) are actually a ton better than the original. Here are some tracks that have been youtubed:
Little Black Angel
The Enemy Within
To Drown a Rose in White...Rose Clouds of Holocaust (TDaRiW is one of the weakest tracks on the album, but sit through it for the Rose Clouds of Holocaust bonus track, which is so tasty)
*I was kinda going to skirt it to make the thread less broad but I guess broadness is good so we could totally talk a bit about say Rome, Spiritual Front and Ordo Rosarious Equilibrio or whatever. Even though ORE are only my third favourite band whose overly long name begins with the word Ordo!
@Furious Wombat: Man how have I passed over this band? (I think it's because I discover a lot of music through last.fm and Forest is also the name of a black metal band). This is nice!
@Nodaisho: They're ok, I think. I had a couple of their albums downloaded a few years ago but I never bought them or re-downloaded them after my old computer crashed. I'm generally a bit equivocal about the whole 'goth americana' scene. Not that it's bad or anything, just that if I want that kind of mood I'll whack on some psychobilly or Nick Cave. Or, hell, Johnny Cash.
Totally gonna upload some sweet as fuck albums at uni today.

Man, no offense, but I'm really struggling to work out why you think this has anything to do with folk music? Like it's not even that bad but why are you posting it in this thread? I'm seriously intrigued.
