Can someone tell me some good albums similar to this one (pic related)? I'm really into folk rock, indie folk, and just folk in general.

...

Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Sufjan Stevens - Michigan

Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver

Beach Boys - Smile

My Morning Jacket - Z

this is a great one

Fiona Apple - Idler wheel
might interest you, Ft John Misty newer sol album is good as well
Sturgill Simpson's latest might be worth listening to too

The recs so far in this thread are great, but other than Michigan by Sufjan, I feel none of the albums mentioned measure up to Helplessness in terms of ambition, fluidity, and bombast. Is there another folk record as cinematic and moving as HB?

...

Bookends - Simon and Garfunkel
Confesiones de Invierno - Sui Generis (it's a 10/10 argentinian album)
All Nick Drake
Sea Change - Beck

helplessness blues is pretty hard to match, perhaps maybe going to look at some old crosby, stills and nash?

Thanks man, obviously familiar with the group but never dived into their stuff. I'll try some out. Anywhere specific I should start?

im not super familiar with them myself i just know they have some grandiose sounding stuff which sounds kind of what you're looking for

good luck, helplessness blues is my favorite album mainly because iv had trouble finding something that matches its soul

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Roy Harper - Stormcock
Bill Callahan - Apocalypse
Akron/Family - s/t
Jim O'Rourke - Eureka
The Pentangle - Sweet Child
Sibylle Baier - Colour Green
Vashti Bunyan - Just Another Diamond Day
Nick Drake - Fives Leaves Left
Bert Jansch - Jack Orion

If you want some not as accessible but as impressive stuff:

John Fahey - Fare Forward Voyagers
Natural Snow Buildings - The Dance of the Moon and the Sun
The Microphones - Mount Eerie
Robbie Basho - Visions of the Country
Tim Buckley - Starsailor
James Blackshaw - The Glass Bead Game
David Thomas Broughton - The Complete Guide to Insufficiency

"fuck this contemporary shit give me real folk music":

Listen to The Anthology of American Folk music and the Folkways collection until you eventually die.

Not that guy but Deja Vu by CSNY is a great album.

Great Album!

I recommend to you listen Junip, band from Jose Gonzalez.

Try "Fields"

reccing the complete guide to insufficiency, i fucking adore that album

bump

try this

That album is good, but it's not at all on the level of Fleet Foxes

I assume you've listened to the other FF albums, but if you haven't, you should.

Try Father John MIsty.
Different sound but I think you'll like FJM if you like FF

Grateful Dead - Amercian Beauty
The Band - Music From Big Pink
Potato girl of course
Blind Melon - Nico
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I See A Darkness
Also since you like folk rock check out progressive bluegrass. It's a genre that's got a lot of great stuff that gets shit on before anyone actually listens to it because it's "country". Try out some Punch Brothers.

You're not "into" folk if your idea of folk is fleet foxes

fleet foxes is girly guitar pop, not folk, it doesn't sound like "folk" and literally isn't, just because you have a guitar in it and muh huuuums doesnt make it folk

I suggest you stay to r/indieheads

this

>muh elitism

Literally the only not shit album ITT, and even that is mostly just a snore. Not even folk either, some post rock shit at times.

I figured opie was coming from somewhere like rindehheads and was asking how do I into folk without actually saying it

This user is being a massive cunt, but he's right. Based off this thread it seems that you like more poppy guitar stuff with a folk "aesthetic" to it. Pitchfork-core is mostly good for that, the only

Fuck off.
Bullshit elitism goes more against the ideals of folk than some humms and good production.

OP, I recommend pic related (The Oh Hellos - Through the Deep Dark Valley).
Sufjan Stevens - Michigan is also good, and pretty popular here.
Voice of the Seven Woods - self titled, if you feel like getting into psychedelic stuff.
Finally, ASS - ASS for folk with a bit of electronica.

>elitism
>pointing out an inoffensive jangle pop album made by city boys isnt folk

people like you shouldnt be allowed on Sup Forums get off RIGHT NOW

More progressive bluegrass than folk but I have a lot of fun with this album.

...

More good stuff:
Matt Elliot - Drinking Songs, just folk
The Tallest man on Earth - The Wild Hunt, low-fi indie folk
Nick Drake - Pink Moon - feels

Go to a corner and punch a pillow or something. This isn't a "safe zone" catered to your tastes. And you don't have any idea of how Jangle Pop sounds like.

Basically psychedelic renditions of standards from the Anthology of American Folk.
