Dark country / modern bluegrass

I was reading this thread from the top, and stopped right before coming down to this post.

I spent 25 min searching google and YT looking for this guy.

I don’t know him well, but I know he is dark.
I just couldn’t remember his name.
I knew it was diablo or devil something. I even searched for diablo the devil and devil el diablo. Couldn’t remember the AMIGO.

Wouldn’t you know that I found it on YT.
Came back to post his name.
Scrolled down to the next post by @Gio, to find that quote. It was right there the whole time.

Although it is a clever tactic pulling out punk rock on a punk rock guy, those aren’t even the original artists, so no. :joy: You would have been closer with repo man. But one of the reasons I like OBWAT is because the music is an integral part of the movie and it’s not just a concert film. Sorry to monopolize the post I’m bored

Actually you should check out the Control soundtrack, the actors did an amazing job. Movie is awesome too.

(24h party people is all originals)

Repo Man had a glorious soundtrack. Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole :slight_smile:

I really love this album of The Devil Makes Three, and I saw they recorded a few others albums. I plan to listen carefully to all that !

this song for example is great, here in a minimal live version for a change :

Pete is a phenomenal songwriter, and the dark, minimal, gritty sound they get as a stripped down trio is dynamite.
Live they are powerful, and driving, and tight as anything.

I got to open for them a few times, and they are very wonderful and excellent people. I love it when my music heroes end up being good people.

Not sure if this has been shared yet but when I think “Dark Country/Americana” these are the guys I think of:

The Handsome Family

Have you been able to figure out what gives Dark Country it’s signature sound?

@terb - I thought this was some cool international juxtoposition, so I had to throw it on this thread. I’ve been dedicated this year to buying more albums and streaming less. As a result, I’ve been on bandcamp quite a bit.
This band was featured, and I just love this sound.
It’s dark folk music with a drone/noise aesthetic from France.
Reminds me a bit of Godspeed You Black Emperor but with lyrics I can’t understand.
Lemme know what you think!

thank you @Gio !

I must say it’s not my cup of tea, there is a lot of this kind of music in France, it’s from the celtic part of France (north-west). I never went to this region(1), it’s not my culture really. but yeah I guess it’s some kind of european dark country, indeed !

at least I understand the lyrics :grin: more or less :sweat_smile:

1 : for those who might be interested, the celtic culture is in this dark green zone in Europe, it’s kinda hardcore in those area :

Colter Wall has always been a fave of mine, and Stella West. It took me a really long time to find ‘the sound’ and I eventually pinned it down and I’m finding new stuff everyday. I’ve heard some people call it Outlaw Country or Desert Blues. Haha
