Freak folk

Freak Folk is a style that uses mainly acoustic instruments; mostly guitar (often in alternate tunings) and occasionally violin or flute, accompanied by percussion instruments such as bongos. Used correctly, it tends to refer to music with long instrumental/psychedelic passages (and that may utilize drones), or “poppier” folk music with elaborately baroque, psychedelic or oppressive atmospheres. Some modern singer-songwriters are tagged as Freak Folk just for looking a bit peculiar. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Metallic Falcons

Hi guys, I'm really not into this kind of practice but i would really like to ask you for checking out first single from my upcoming debut album on my youtube channel. I'm young singer-songwriter and I really want to be able to continue making what makes me most happy - and that is music. So if you have some time, please feel free to rate and comment on that song of mine. It will mean a lot to me : ) http://www.youtube.com/user/stefander777

Fuck whoever that said this is Hipster. It is so sad that your limited close minds have to classify people and it´s confined to stereotypes. Pathetic. [7]
