Weird folk
KharBevNor:
I wouldn't have really called Jackie-O Motherfucker folk. Surely if they are, then Sun City Girls also?

Kind of what I was saying, though, as always, I could have been clearer. The influence is there, albeit more of the Appalachian variety than the European one found underlining most of the groups you'd previously listed. But that's not the key difference; that would be the element of free improvisation-as-composition. Nurse With Wound have it (the Faust influence), but Death In June and their ilk - true to their (post-)punk roots - seem quite averse to it. Which is perfectly cool, but it lends a whole different air to the proceedings.
Ironically, Richard Bishop's solo work does have a certain alien folk quality. Sun City Girls, however, are Sun City Girls, and nothing else.
KharBevNor:
"alien folk", now there's a fine genre name.
Might upload some more albums this evening, get this thread rocking again.
KharBevNor:
Man, this thread has actually made me really depressed. Like sometimes a dude just wants to talk about music he loves with people he likes, but then everyone either totally ignores everything or starts talking about something completely different.
This thread was a pointless waste of time so I guess now you guys should make it about some post-hardcore band you like or whatever so it actually gets talked in.

Maybe consider the possibility that you don't like good things
