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 
more or less 
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
