OK, we're down to the Final Four of Folk. This will work the same as it did last week: 1 vs. 2 and 3 vs. 4. | | 1 |  | Amigo the Devil
Everything Is Fine

Really fun and dark "Murderfolk" with a bluegrass twinge

Sunset Studies

It's Chamber Folk/ Indie Folk. An Australian band, this was their debut, and had some cracking tracks.

Farewell to All We Know
Northern Skylark
Do you believe in resurrection? You don't? Well, I did when I first heard this. This is the second coming of Leonard Cohen, I mused. He breathes throughout this album somehow. How very odd, how wonderful! It is probably not true, but damn it, he used to play a mean guitar, too. Enjoy!

Very accessible spin on this sort of apocalyptic folk subgenre. Think a less evil sounding Comus.

06.13.20 | Gosh,I'm still torn between Amigo and Augie!! | garas
06.13.20 | I did not *really* enjoy any of these, so I'm out.
(Maybe Amigo the Devil, but I don't have strong opinions on the rest.) | Divaman
06.13.20 | So is that a vote for Amigo the Devil? | garas
06.13.20 | Yeah, count me on that. Let's make that a 4-4. | zakalwe
06.13.20 | 3 is brilliant | DoofDoof
06.13.20 | 3 needs to win this tbh
1 is close to bad and the other two are good but not amazing | NorthernSkylark
06.13.20 | 2, 3 for me | Divaman

06.13.20 | I fixed it, Skylark. Apologies. | bgillesp
06.13.20 | Oh no, neither of these are going the way I want. Idk what y’all see in that augie march album, but obviously I’m the minority with it | Friday13th
06.13.20 | Amigo v. Augie is 5-5 | bgillesp

06.13.20 | You're right, Friday. I'm gonna go back and doublecheck the count - got myself confused there. | Divaman
06.13.20 | All right, I fucked up the count. Garas voted for 1, and didn't vote on 3 vs. 4, but I accidentally tacked his vote on 3 instead of 1. I just went back and rechecked everything, and here's where we're at. If anybody sees any mistakes with their voting, please let me know, but I think this is where we're really at:
6-5
