Share your favorite pieces of droney folk and folky drone. Pic related is pretty good, especailly considering how late in his career he was. I'd love to hear some drone that prominently features bagpipes or church organ (aside from ravedeath). So yeah, share + discuss!

I don't know too much about drone folk, but I can try to contribute. This past spring I saw Benoit Piolard with opening acts Haunter and Chris Weirsema. It was really cool. Thomas (Benoit Piolard) recently broke his wrist and put out an EP which has a fantastic cover of Aphex Twin's Stone in Focus on it. I digress, he does a very good job at blending drone and folk, I think. Haunter is, in my eyes, a warm guitar drone legend. I've gotten the privilege to see him three times (but I've missed at least six invites to other shows) and each time it's been an experience. He's on tour right know and I think he'll be around the midwest over the course of the summer before moving to Thailand. Also, a Sup Forumstant in the bandcamp threads, Rest You Sleeping Giant, makes some wonderful warm drone. I've played all of these artists on a radio show that I hosted this past spring. It was super chill.

I misspelled his name, fuck. His cover is not quite the same as the original, but it's awesome for slightly different reasons. The noise and slight distortion hits really close to my own music, but it doesn't seem quite as vast as the original. Still very pensive, though.
