Piano is nice when it comes in but generally speaking it's not the sort of thing I enjoy. Kind of expected that anyway.

For the genre of folk, I'd like to submit a track. Note that while the band usually does folk metal, this track is from an album where they've stripped the metal part of the equation out entirely (the second such album from this band, I believe).

Folk music is many things, and this is very, very far away from Joni Mitchell and Mellow Candle.

The band is Swiss and if I'm not mistaken, they're singing in Helvetian, which is close to, or the same as Gaulish.

It might be a severe disservice to the music, but **** it I enjoy it as a background cacophony and maybe that approach might make it less unapproachable for you too. If you can't get it with active listening, then try not actively listening to it.

Yeah. Problem there is, I don't like monolithic assaults on the senses, noise rock, harsh noise or anything of the kind. You're a Merzbow fan, I'm not, so that approach would definitely not work for me. I just simply don't like it. I'd rather listen to two cats fighting out in the street.

I'll go with you. What could possibly go wrong.

Definitely wouldn't call myself a Merzbow fan, but that's probably because I haven't listened much to him since before I actually started liking some harsh noise.

You listen to Merzbow, you're a Merzbow fan. You also kept spamming the "Name That Tune" section with one of his songs. I know it was only for the lulz, but the fact that you knew which one to post speaks volumes.
