"How on earth is this folk music"

This is folk music in which instead of a second guitar melody, there are looped samples, and instead of the additional over-dubbed harmonies, there is vocoded singing, but that doesn't really change the music at it's core.

Yeah, this is what some people call "folktronica"

"so what defining elements of folk make this folktronica as opposed to glitchy"



folktronica is folk music with electronic elements....which is exactly what this a. Is and b. sounds like



i could understand whyh someone would hear creeks, consider justin's collabs and maybe get an rnb VIBE from this but no not an rnb record at all

Album Rating: 2.0

not sure i even consider james blake to be rnb either tho so i might have a stricter definition thereof

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah, Blake is more like downbeat electronic music, with some glitch and soul/neo-soul vocals.

"what is "the music at it's core" then"



Means it shares significantly more elements of this genre, than any other one.

Album Rating: 3.0

Agreed, it feels like it could be more.

i think rnbs core infuence/sound has to be soul music whereas this is bon hiver expanding and experimenting with their original alt folk sound



genres are subjective tho so its whatev

Modern mainstream ' rnb' sounds nothing like you'd imagine something with the title rhythm and blues would do



One of the worst modern day genre definitions. It's evolved into something else so rename it already.



In the majority of cases 'weak sauce soul pap' would work

Fantano's review of this album was so bad

Album Rating: 2.5

Really? I put it off until I listened to it because I thought he might really like it and I didn't like any of the singles but I agreed with pretty much everything

It's good, but...in my opinion...not THAT good.

am I the only one who pronounces his name Bon I-Ver?



I always knew the French pronunciation was Bon E-ver, but I didn't know he pronounced it exactly the same as the French way.
