Michael Hurley!! It's nice to see him mentioned. Do you like Jackson C. Frank too, frown?

Petula07, who used to post here ages ago, strongly recommended the band Altan Urag from Mongolia, and in return I recommended Andrey Vinogradov to her. I hope one of them kicks you in the gut, Chiomara - in the nicest possible way of course.

P.S. Yes, surely there is some angry freak-folk genius who does more with the genre than play coffee-shop background music, or horror-movie soundtrack music, which is what it makes me think of usually. Perhaps I'll check out some more Fursaxa as Frownland speaks highly of them. |
I always enjoy throat-singing, but I especially enjoyed the second video! And, I too think Fursaxa would be worth investigating, though I personally haven't listened to much of them. (They're not in the coffee shop background music category, at least. And I for one would be thrilled to have more "horror movie soundtrack"-esque folk aside from Chelsea Wolfe and other similar artists, not that I don't like them.)
..Yet again I have no songs to post. I'm extremely picky about vocals; I've complained before about the lack of strong vocals in my preferred type of folk music and it really is exasperating. I don't necessarily require Diamanda Galas type howling-in-the-bowels-of-hell-levels of passion/crazy vocal strength, though that would of course be great. Oh, actually, typing that made this song come to mind; I've always wished it were longer:

love songs which sound like dirges emanating from the underworld.
