FOLKLORE is the journal of The Folklore Society. Founded in 1878, the Folklore Society are one of the oldest organisations in the world devoted to the study of folklore in all its various forms…
Elements of traditional music, freak folk, dub and spoken word, knitted together by a recording technique which is both lo-fi and uncompromisingly avant-garde. Eldritch acoustic instrumentation set up slantwise against grainy, decayed tape noise. Ancient European mythology channelled by a voice that sounds like an Appalachian ghost. They remain the most exciting band in folk music. THE MOUND PEOPLE : sourced from The Mound People: Danish Bronze Age Man Preserved by PV Glob first published in 1974. “They were clad in their everyday clothes and richly supplied with ornaments and weapons of gold and bronze. Their sophisticated culture covered the whole of Scandinavia and much of northern Europe. Their sudden decline remains a mystery”
An absolute must have if you like Tristwch Y Fenywod, Lankum, One Leg One Eye….
