Oh ****, my bad. I just missed that rule. I was thinking one per genre.
Ok, the one I feel is most important is the Holly Herndon track. You can just ignore the other two and I can start reading things more closely

One more point though: could people please throw in the title of the song they're posting, as, as in this video above, the title is truncated onscreen and I don't know what the song is called. Thought it was "Red Hash" but I see now that's the name of the album. Just would help a lot. Thanks.

Edited my original post to include song titles.

Glad you dug the track. I would expect you to be a huge American folk fan based on what I know you like. Do you actively dislike folk or have you just not checked much out?

OK, done. I thought everyone understood that but I guess not. It's clear now, or should be.

No it's fine: I'll do all three but separately. Just in future, one song, regardless of genre/sub-genre, per post. Thanks.

This one I did not like. Her voice put me off - sort of like listening to a banshee sing! - and the backing melodies were weird. It just didn't chime with me at all, sorry. I guess there's a reason why it's called Freak Folk.

This was pretty terrible. I really am no fan of fifties music, and rockabilly just leaves me cold.

I also hate the upright bass, which is fairly prominent here. Pass on this one. If I were ever to get into rockabilly, which I feel fairly certain I never will, I'd need something more interesting than this.
