I love folk related stuff but for some reason I've always found most psych folk to be kinda corny. Just seems to take away from the warmth and earthiness of the instrumentation.
This album is an exception, but that's probably just because everyone in The Pentangle is a virtuoso at their respective instruments. Also It's not really that psychedelic outside of a few tracks.
James Clark
Spirogyra- St. Radigund's
Blake Nguyen
Syd Barrett- The Madcap Laughs
>I love folk related stuff but for some reason I've always found most psych folk to be kinda corny. Just seems to take away from the warmth and earthiness of the instrumentation.
I can understand what you're saying. Psychedelic folk is more raw and percussive which is what I like about it.
>This album is an exception, but that's probably just because everyone in The Pentangle is a virtuoso at their respective instruments. Also It's not really that psychedelic outside of a few tracks.
You're probably right. I think that I might have misinterpreted some of the Indian raga influences for psychedelic components of the album. Nonetheless, I find that the album slots into my psychedelic folk playlist well (which is where all these albums are coming from).

... and that concludes all of the albums that I listen to that I would characterize as straight-faced psychedelic folk. I know of a bunch more that fall under the freak folk subgenre and are more modern but just as good. Hope I introduced some of you to some new albums.

Christian Ross
good thread man thought about making a chart?
Jaxon Ross
reccing this album heavily
Anthony Gonzalez
Maybe I will- there's a folk chart, a freak folk chart, and a standard psychedelic chart that I know of, but no psych folk specific one.
Nolan Hill
I just downloaded this- thanks for the recommendation.
Cooper Russell
Marc was such a qt
Joshua Thomas
What would Yea Forums classify this album as? Space folk? Prog something? New Age?
Joseph Ortiz
here's one i made a while ago for a friend, but it could use some work. some of the albums arent strictly psych folk and there's a lot i left out
nice
Bentley Martin
I appreciate the reference. I've wanted to make a chart since over the summer but once the schoolyear started back up, my time slipped away.
In any case, my vision for the chart is one that encompasses psych folk as a cover-all from the 60s until the modern freak folk movement with different sections (similar to pic related's divisions). A major annoyance of mine is that the only other folk chart I have seen bouncing around on this site is one that divides albums up into years which buys into the "old = good,new = bad" narrative by which folk music in particular seems victimized. Genre divisions should transcend time-periods, in my opinion, and I believe that this trend applied to folk music is majorly due to the rise of indie folk and Mumford and Son-like bands in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
In any case, I am very open to some advice or other comments for divisions within my chart, but the first five I am envisioning include:
>Stylistic origins
This section will be smaller and tighter and include albums that are regarded as the most representative and best that the genre has to offer
>60s/70s Acid Folk
A section that showcases garage folk acts such as the Holy Modal Rounders, The Fugs, and The Godz that sounds more punk than, for example, some of the work by Tim Buckley or Donovan. I believe there is a distinct distinction that constitutes this subgenre designation.
>Dark Folk
Reserved for albums like First Utterance, The Christ Tree, and Exuma. Albums that play around with the more esoteric side of the genre as opposed to the hippy love-one-and-all feeling that pervades the rest of the genre.
>Ragas, Strumming, and Instrumentals
There are many great examples of instrumental artists that utilize psychedelic elements in a largely acoustic presentation- Peter Walker, Robbie Basho, George Harrison, John Fahey, etc.- that can be distinguished from acts where vocals are weighed equally to the backing surrounding instrumentals.

Charles Hall
(cont.) I think that this subdivision could also showcase some of the Indian influences that psychedelic music began experimenting with in the late 60s.
>Freak Folk and New Weird America
Same as the chart included in my previous post but updated to include albums that have been released since the time this chart was made (before 2010, I think).

Juan Bailey

Joseph Cox
early cocorosie.
and a woman named Lau Nau, she's from Finland and I used to listen to her but I think she's busy being a mother or something, haven't caught up with her lately.
pic related is Lau Nau - Kuutarha
Ryder Myers
I really like this chart. Most of the stuff is definitely worth checking out.
Robbie Basho, Buffy St. Marie, Six Organs of Admittance and Third Ear Band being some of my favorites
Xavier Murphy
It's a great chart that got me into freak folk music three years ago which, eventually, lead me into folk music in general. The only weakness of it is that it was made a number of years ago and is no longer up-to-date with the genre- it could do with some updating.
