Damien Youth - Strange (1994) [Neo-Psych Folk]
This disturbing but compelling lo-fi ditty popped up today, and it's definitely good. If memory serves, Damien Youth became something of a troubadour in the late 80's, distributing his cassettes across various channels and building a cult following in the process.
I have some of his more recent albums too, but Festival Of Death is one of the better collections to track down due to it's grainy, esoteric atmosphere. He's been compared to Donovan and Eliott Smith, but you couldn't get them to go record in a cave or graveyard in the dead of night. Mr. Youth strikes me as someone who actually would.
