neofolk

Recently have been exploring more of neofolk...
First of all need to say that i absolutely fell in love with CocoRosie after a night of watching them on youtube... but then i found out that listening to their albums is not as much thrilling as the low quality online vids! I don't know just something is missing in the recordings that is so much overwhelming in their performances. Especially was upset to see that they absolutely ruined the song Black Rainbow which is so much more powerful in a couple of versions on youtube:
Nalle - really made my pack of favorite female vocalists like CocoRosies and Joanna Newsom full - amazing that it is so critically underrated!!!
Turning to "greener breed" - amongst all the black metal and power electronics i was forcing on myself recently the next three projects i am talking about were very much like pleasant green grass patches in the middle of dark oppresive woods - the first couple came in a split "Auguries Of Innocence / Meandering In Streams Of Reflection" by The Joy of Nature and novemthree and the third one Nebelung - all three are quite different in sound and mood though...
and one more revelation that moved me deeply is Of the Wand and the Moon the project by Kim Larsen of Saturnus - some would say this is quite a radical departure from doom metal, but i think i can see the same roots, same sadness and passion for making music.

Mmm whatever they take, they should really take less...(or more, who knows...).
But besides that I have to agree with you. It can be a balsam for the soul - a cleansing water that washes away all the plague in the wastelands that black/death metal leaves behind and carries you to peaceful places where still life dwells and grows.
On a more profane side neofolk also serves really well as background music while reading, studying, coding, etc. :)
I would recommend you to have a closer look at bands like great Rome, Tenhi, Nest or Orplid -

Oh fuck those tags again... i promised to myself not to argue about "tags" but here i go again - tags are very relative and i do not care if i misuse one or another - if you go to wikipedia i am sure you will find Cocorosie and Joanna Newsom under some kind of freak or whatever folk - which are all branches and subdivisions of the new folk wave.... but come on, tags are a silly thing, when musicians create they do not care about what genre their music would fall into...
If i insulted you by calling neofolk someone who's got nothing to do with neo nazi or politically incorrect industrial influences, you'll have to deal with it... :] -

freak folk is a subgenre of neofolk - but aren't all these tags silly and pretty pointless?? -
