F2: The New Folk - An Explosion

A Return To The Simpler Things

Cycles in music are pretty reliable, in a fluid sort of way. Even in the age of digital distribution and low-cost production, the trends appear like they have been since the late Sixties. The Fader's all digital mag takes a look at the rise of Folk. F2: The New Folk addresses the music of The Entrance Band, Mariee Sioux, Michael Gira, Phosphorescent and Quinn Walker - emerging stars, not the established ones.
