Why don't we just wrap up Freak Folk, Avant-Folk, and Psych Folk in one neat package and call it a day, huh? It'd make this a whole lot easier because I see no real (or otherwise significant) distinction between any of these.
According to one source Freak Folk = avant garde music + Psychedelic Folk. So Freak Folk doesn't equal Psychedelic Folk, more like a sub-genre of it. "Avant-Garde" (again just like "Freak Folk") probably only exist on community music databases like RYM or last.fm etc. etc. They (Are "Freak Folk" & "Avant-Garde") seem to be made-up sub-genres.
