08.07.16 | nsb is good any album in particular besides the dance and snowbringer |
DoofusWainwright
08.07.16 | Songs: Ohia 'ghost tropic'
Lambchop 'Is a Woman' - it's not folk as such but it's just so unique and totally immense (and very quiet) |

08.07.16 | I'll jump on this thread for a bit of assistance.
There was a British folk album released within the last few years which made an end of year best of on the internet. Think it's a female/male duo with the female doing vox. Artwork is white with a black ink drawing of a tree or something along them lines.
I think all the songs followed a specific theme but I can't remember exactly what.
Sorry I can't be more specific but I remember really digging it but never logging it so I've completely forgotten what it's called and would love to give it another spin.
Anyone know what it's called????

08.07.16 | sorry zak nothing comes to mind, any idea for a specific year? |
DoofusWainwright
08.07.16 | doesn't ring a bell bud but I'm intrigued now |

08.07.16 | Wren dude. It was during my time on sput, i'd narrow it down to 2013-2014.
Doof. It was great, very minimal. Folky as fuck. Probabaly give it a spin now and I'd think it was shite. |
p4p
08.07.16 | @zak Mazzy Star? |
zakalwe
08.07.16 | Unfortunately not dude.
Very below the radar. Not a 'known' name at all. Really traditional stuff. The name of the publication who listed it in their album of the year list would help massively but I'm fucking useless :D |
DoofusWainwright
08.07.16 | Sounds like maybe the sort of album Uncut might have promoted - or are we talking more obscure? |
Alastor
08.07.16 | Sol Invictus - Lex Talionis |
zakalwe
08.07.16 | Yeah I keep thinking it was an uncut pick doof but I'm scratching me head.
Superb effort Alastor mate. I thought that might haven been it but on closer inspection it's not :( |
Deathconscious
08.07.16 | The Baptist Generals - Jackleg Devotional to the Heart |

08.07.16 | No obligatory NMH in the list wow |

08.07.16 | Doesn't quite fit your description but you're not thinking of The Civil Wars are you, zak? |
zakalwe
08.07.16 | Ello JT.
No, I'm miffed I've been going to 2013-14 best of lists like a man posessed and just can't find it. Lost forever :( |
JamieTwort
08.07.16 | I'll rack my brain and see if I can think of anything that might be it. |
zakalwe
08.07.16 | It's an 'unheard' one. Very traditional. I think the artist has released a few albums. I'm sure the theme was something to do with childhood, fairytales or one specific folk tale.
Driving me round the bend. |
zakalwe
08.07.16 | Hmmm.
Is it ange hardy - Bare Foot Folk.
It could be but something doesn't sit right. Nah it's not it.
Fuck me I've lost me mind. It doesn't help that twee English folk twosomes who whack trees on their artwork are ten a fucking penny. |

08.07.16 | lol |

08.07.16 | natalie rose lebrecht - warraw

08.07.16 | If you're interested doof dude give her a spin.
It's real trad English folk where maypoles, fetes, cobbled streets and human sacrifice to pagan gods by burning alive foreigners are the order of the day.
The album 'The Lament of the Black Sheep' is magic |
DoofusWainwright
08.07.16 | Jesus, I spent part of my childhood in a small village and had to maypole dance - I was absolutely fucking mortified at the time
I was just laughing at your realisation that the description you'd given us was the most typical folk album description ever :D |
zakalwe
08.07.16 | I think there's something special about English villages.
I was on the Isle of Wight last week with the missus. We absolutely loved it. Stunning place even though there was an air of getting locked up inside a 80ft wood effigy and torched before boarding the ferry home.
What village doof? |
DoofusWainwright
08.07.16 | Lived in a few but that one was the most picture postcard - Welford Upon Avon (later went to school in Stratford Upon Avon).
After that I lived in a proper bleak agricultural 100 people backwater in Northampton called Orlingbury (went to school in Wellingborough).
Then the last village was Olney, famous for its pancake race lol
|
zakalwe
08.07.16 | Incredible. Pancake races the lot, Idyllic as fuck. Probably boring as hell in reality.
Love it. |
DoofusWainwright
08.07.16 | Orlingbury was depressing, the myth about country folk being welcoming was shattered by that place, miserable cunts to a man |
anat
08.07.16 | zak your first post reads like satire |
zakalwe
08.07.16 | WOW!!! Welford Upon Avon looks a stunner.
Flicking through the google images I pissed myself at one in particular. Looks like someone's had one to many at the Bell inn before driving home.
Yeah I know anat dude I've done myself no favours whatsoever. Needle in a Haystack. It's a genuine plea though it was a great album. |
DoofusWainwright
08.07.16 | we were snowed in for a fortnight one winter and practically lived in the Bell Inn as they had a generator, legendary |
anat
08.07.16 | As for recs I'd throw in Evening Hymns' Spectral Dusk and Quiet Energies |
