Music: Anti-Folk - Kimya Dawson

[graafen]

Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who commented yesterday; both Damon and I appreciate the well-wishes. :)

I'm not really a fan of folk music, but anti-folk seems like something I could really get into, especially after seeing Juno and hearing Kimya Dawon's music (Thanks V!).

It's incredibly experimental and eclectic folk music with interesting lyrics, vocal style, mostly recorded lo-fi. Methinks I need to delve into the little genre more. :)

Anti-folk stuff is kinda fun, tho a bit of a record label thing, its been around about 5 years - You should definitely look up the Moldy Peaches stuff and Jeffery Lewis ("The Last time I did acid I went insane" is a great track) and check out Major Matt Mason and Toby Goodshank.

I have a few cd's i could send.

I was so lucky to see one of the anti-folk tours of the UK a few years back, these bands are at their best live.
