Bel disco questo «Fen Creatures» dei Fuzzy Lights. È uscito l'anno scorso ed è il quinto della band di Cambridge, per me fino a oggi sconosciuta. Ha un'anima folk rock psichedelica britannica (vengono in mente i Fairport Convention) e una corazza più dura, post-rock in alcuni punti, desertica in altri, noise in altri ancora. Questo War Ditches è un pezzone.

Fairport Convention -- Liege And Lief

https://urusai.social/@gnitro has just mentioned listening to this album but finding it was not his cup of tea.

I rediscovered this album about a year ago. Like @gnitro, I'm a Kpop fan, so one might expect my reation to be similar to his, since the sound of British folk rock of the late sixties is far indeed from the polished studio production of today's Seoul .

Yet I do respond to that "Come All Ye". I don't think it's just nostalgia on my part; there's something about the rediscovery of traditional English music and its re-expression in a more modern idiom that stirs me, albeit in a fashion without flags, Faragism, or any other kind of fascistic nonsense.

Second #BritishFolkRevival included #BritishFolkRock

British folk rock developed in Britain during the mid- to late 1960s by the bands #FairportConvention and #Pentangle, #FiveHandReel, #SteeleyeSpan and the #AlbionBand, which built on elements of #AmericanFolkRock.

Tell me if you hear the variation on a computer game theme in the intro to this #FairportConvention song "If I Had a Ribbon Bow"…
