modern folk V

by the modern folk

supported by

Phil Neff A grittily ambitious passion project that transitions from smoke-hazed psychedelic folk and blues a la MV+EE into tense lo-fi rap and electronic soundscapes. As Louis Armstrong said: "All music is folk music." Favorite track: the pit.

about

recorded in SE portland, oregon 2016-2017

HE WHO DIGS THE PIT GETS BURIED IN IT
ONE PEOPLE ONE WORLD
HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST DIE IN THE STREETS

"Modern Folk V is a perfect blend of beautiful ambience combined with striking rhythms and tranquilizing sounds. It has a hypnotic pull to a very soothing and comforting planet- a wonderful place, I hope to visit someday, or maybe I just did... In fact, I think I'll return right now on another listen"

- Pat Byrne, WFMU, 2018

Now to spin this and take flight. As a former card carrying member of jamband scene this would have fit nicely back in the late 60's-70's and the late 90's-00's when improvisational jams were king. This is going to take the scene into another direction with Garcia Peoples. Vinyl Purchased 10/3/20. Arrived 10/26/20. The Midnight Toker.
