I love crane wives.
me searching spotify’s folk playlists for artists like the oh hellos and the arcadian wilds only to hit shuffle and get TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT is my villain origin story
#I think the problem is. the kind of music I’m looking for is not gonna be on charts#it’s not what Spotify registers as popular and therefore a likely option#I want music that simulates that feel I get when I go to a folk festival by the river in late summer#played on a small stage by a band no one’s ever heard of#in between artist stands of handmade pottery and woodwork#I want banjo. I want fiddle. I want to barely be able to hear them over the cicadas in the trees but I want to feel the hum of it anyway#I need folk music in the tradition of like. bluegrass and Celtic music. dramatic. lively. emotional#something you can snap your fingers too#I DONT want bland low tempo love songs#carefully produced with smooth and boring vocals#I want the voice crack from passion of singing! I want the violin strings to squeak! I want to hear somebody WHOOP in the middle!#goddamn I want music that is RAW and just goes inside you I don’t want to feel very blandly depressed!!!!!!#anyway this is. also a plea for recommendations#we’re talking crane wives. fish in a birdcage. amazing devil. cosmo sheldrake#actually no the real problem here is most of this music I love is only available as cds handed out at these folk fests
