good dark folk albums
I would suggest Jordan Reyne. Her lastest album is a dark folk / folk noir narrative (she sings though - beautifully) set on the west coast of New Zealand. You might want to check it out here: dubdubdub dot darkfolk dot de or you can just put jordan reyne in a google search (as a newbie I can't post links yet! sorry!)
I found a couple of reviews here too from the website:
"A jewel of industrial folk...(Reyne's) fascinatingly powerful voice...and reliance on substance over gloss make „How the Dead Live“ an impressive album. Disturbingly beautiful. A must have - not just for lovers of dark and industrial folk, but for everyone." Unser Luebeck (Germany)
"A fascinating and intense listen. Reyne's voice, as ever, is a gift and.. she chooses to use it by applying the tools of a story writer and an illustrator... here is something worth celebrating, a song writer who didn't come down in the last shower of record company advances and marketing hype" The Dominion Post (Wellington, New Zealand)
Hope that helps!
