INDIE FOLK

VA - Easy Indie Folk (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3

Indie-folk emerged during the early 21st century, when songwriters from the indie rock community began taking their cues from folk music. Acoustic artists like Elliott Smith and Will Oldham (in his Palace Brothers guise) helped lay the genre's brickwork during the '90s, but it wasn't until the following decade that indie folk truly took hold, with labels such as Saddle Creek, Barsuk, Ramseur, and Sub Pop devoting ample support to the genre. As the 2000's progressed and more indie-folk artists appeared, the genre grew to encompass a wide range of music, from the neo-Celtic folk of the Decemberists to the Appalachian harmonies of Fleet Foxes. Other groups, including genre kingpin Iron & Wine, embraced such variety in their own music, jumping from lo-fi acoustic ballads to lush electric rockers without ever truly exiting the indie-folk camp. Despite their ties to the folk community, however, most of these bands frequented traditional rock venues instead of coffeehouses, a characteristic that distinguished them from contemporary folk groups.   Musically, we’re looking at that glorious amalgamation of tradition folk elements (acoustic instruments and vocal styles) with the burgeoning indie-rock scene—or, occasionally, electronic elements applied to folk music. These albums are filled with folky songs that would be at home on college radio next to post-rock and dance tracks. There’s overlap with alt-country, coffeehouse singer/songwriters, orchestral pop and indie rock (Allmusic)

Indie folk hybridizes the acoustic guitar melodies of traditional folk music with contemporary instrumentation. Here are 63 such tracks from emerging artists.  Enjoy!
