Definition: contemporary folk music with experimental tendencies. (I suppose that'll do, haha).
A few artists who make up this genre are: Nico, Mister Salmon, Big Blood, Jandek, Erica Pomerance, Godz, The Holy Modal Rounders, and Tim Buckley.
Godz were more than just avant-folk, though. They held a lot of influence in the creation of noise rock, krautrock (mainly Neu!), and freak folk.
