In the realm of dark country I’m quite a fan of Colter Wall:
Also how about this:
Or this:
Oh, and this:
Hmm… apparently I like this kinda music more than I realised!
I like especially the Builders and the Butchers, thank you @infra !
I recorded a cover of this one
Thanks for pointing me at that, that’s soooo cool.
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 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
thank you @indigoing23 , and welcome aboard by the way I’m always happy to learn about new stuff to discover in this register
