This is the new folk music, stemming from those living in the city but yearning for their imagined rural landscapes. Projecting their need to escape modern complexity into the landscape, the rural as retreat. It's this thread that sits at the heart of much modern music of this sort and is captured brilliantly on the new definitive compilation from MusicYourMindWillLoveYou 'Charms Cut From Our Trees'. This CD brings together artists from Australia (centred around Michael Donnelly's collective) and USA (around Brad Rose) and complementary artists such as Rameses III from UK. Ranging from the delicate hazy folk of Golden Oaks, Keijo and Hush Arbors, via the mystical maelstrom of Brothers of the Occult Sisterhood to the frustrated roar of Terracid and back to the landscape comfort of Rameses III and Snowfox. In all seriousness, if you want to understand what's going on underground at the edges of wyrd folk and beyond, this is the single CDr to go for. The Rameses III track alone had the writer still in reverie, we all need this music.
