Neofolk thread

[Logan Peterson]

Because the other guy's thread was deleted. This one will be about music, if not derailed by antifa protestors, I guess...

when will people relize that DI6 has nothing really do with the alt right. It's mostly just homoerotic sad love songs. It disappoints me the way people who visit this band's songs often have such aggressive opinions and such hate towards the opinions of others. I find DIJ's lyrics in this album to be consistently vague in a highly poetic way and open to interpretation. Therefore we should not throw our experience of the song on any one else. If DIJ had wanted to make their meaning any more clear, they easily could have.

anyway heres some Andrea Laszlo De Simone, great fucking neo-folk

Well, it's not "just" sad homoerotic love songs, that's just one level of meaning, but it's certainly too metapolitical to be categorised as left/right. The literary references are kind of a giveaway.

Never heard of De Simone, is that really neofolk? Sounds so very psychedelic and American with its distorted guitars and jazzy drums...
Here's some good shit I got into recently. Fresh blood in the German scene:

I made a Death In June intro post in the other thread, guess I can post it here so maybe we can make a flowchart or something.

The first two albums most people will have listened to are obviously But What Ends When The Symbols Shatter and Roseclouds Of Holocaust, after that I would recommend to continue as follows:
>Black Whole Of Love
>The Cathedral Of Tears (1993)
>Symbols & Clouds Re-Recordings
>Alarm Agents
>All Pigs Must Die
>The Rule Of Thirds
>The Snow Bunker Tapes
this concludes their purely folk-ish releases.

To shatter your idea of what DI6 sounds like, continue with
>Lesson 1: Misanthropy
>Take Care And Control
>Brown Book
>93 Dead Sunwheels
>Östenbräün
>Peaceful Snow
I've mixed up the chronology a bit to keep things interesting.

Afterwards, just explore on your own. Remember that Dougie's discography is huge and you'll need ~40 releases to have all unique versions of all songs.

A very volkisch track

>strasserism
>leftist

[Josiah Martin]

I think he was referring to the Crisis years, they were trotskyists in the 70s and very early 80s. They were also Strasserists in the early DI6 years but that influence faded out in the late 80s.
