i was reading pitchforkmedias top 100 albums and when they listed boc-mhtrtc they classifed boc as "folktronica" i think that is a pretty good description/term.. well after doing a search for it on the mb it only came up 3 times.. so what other artists would be classifed as folktronica? what are you rthoughts on the genre? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Four Tet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
humm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh, maybe múm... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

manitoba (especially "up in flames") four tet frog pocket generally i think of folktronica as being music created using samples of guitar and other acoustic instruments, but sequenced on a computer. usually combined with sounds and ideas found in other genres like "idm". hehe not sure if that's the "real" definition of folktronica tho. anyway, i like the artists listed above, whatever you want to call them. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that's a pretty good definition I reckon... also the instruments are often played by the artist themselves rather than sampled from other records. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
- Múm - Dntel - Four Tet - maybe Asa Chang and Junray - maybe The Books |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, and some Leafcutter John. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
would describing boc as folktronica be accurate? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Probably, I'd say yes... (despite them not usually using a pc for sequencing) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A bit borderline really. Quite a bit less folktronica than múm, quite a bit more than vsnares :D |
||||||||
|
|

I'll never describe Boards of Canada as "folktronica", even if the word's in Webster's dictionary with a picture of or the words "Boards of Canada" as the definition. It's a horrible name, like most genre titles. |
||||||||

- manitoba, asa chang and junray, clue to kalo (very folktronic, if you ask me) - múm, the notwist, isan, etc. |

I made up a musical classification for manifestevil, when directing people to his wedsite, that I was pretty proud of........ "horrorcore" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
horrorcore was coined in the early 90s to describe hip-hop groups like the gravediggaz who rap in a horror movie/comic book style. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||

hym i downloaded some four tet and Múm and it seems boc isnt very "folktronic" at all - although from what i hear, Múm and four tet arent bad either |

To be honest the term "folktronica" makes me nauseous. Worse than "IDM". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i canonly really find the individual mp3's from their site. i'll see if i can dig up the link. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about bogdan's "myloveilove"? guitar, accordian, singing, and the occasional drum. it doesn't get folkier than an album full of sleepy love songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also home to múm & sigur rós. i really dig this folktronica stuff, even if the term is bad. i d/led a frog pocket ep and its really nice :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i have the frog pocket 7" released on planet mu, and it's pretty nice. you should check it out; i think you'll like it. |
