Confronted by increasing social dislocation and an escalating cost-of-living crisis, these artists are turning to the arcane mysteries of yesteryear to alleviate modern malaise.

Cool Bandcamp article about the weirdo folk scene happening in Ireland and the UK these days. I got turned on to stuff like The Incredible String Band, Third Ear Band, and Gryphon in my 20s, so this has been great to see. Odd that they didn’t mention Broadside Hacks or Junior Brother, but it’s still rad.

    Thanks for sharing these! I’ve not really delved into this genre before.Burd Ellen seems to be my favorite thus far as I’m working down the list.

      Burd Ellen is supurb! My personal favorites on the list are Lankum and Shovel Dance Collective, but I’m enjoying the ones that I hadn’t heard before, too.
