Tunng Comments Of The Inner Chorus cover

New Folk Routes

Show #2679

Thursday, May 17, 2007

Names like “freak folk” and “folktronica” have been used to try to describe yet another generation of musicians falling under the sway of the British tradition of murder ballads, broadsides, and the like. We’ll hear old favorites like Vashti Bunyan and Fairport Convention, as well as newcomers like Tunng and Espers on this New Sounds.

Listen to the whole show
