Six Organs of Admittance - Nightly Trembling (1999)


Meditative experimental/free folk with haunting acoustic riffs and hypnotic chanting which gets into weird mantra folk jams at times. Because of stuff like this, I view SOAA to the folk realm what Om is to doom/stoner.


It is only necessary to destroying oneself the roots of those motives which determine a man's course, in order to enjoy the omnipotence and immunity of a god

Jeffrey Lewis - The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane (2001)


Comic book and anti-folk artist Jeffrey Lewis' debut. Laid back, lyrically focused and memorable folk tunes from a relateable worldview.


If it's anti-folk, is it still folk?

Six Organs of Admittance - School of the Flower (2005)


A relaxing dosage of psych folk. Primarily instrumental and acoustic but sometimes resorts to gentle vocals, background ambiance and electric freakouts. Also includes a sweet cover of Gary Higgins' Thicker Than a Smokey. One of the first albums I heard from SOOA's flawless discography.


Above all, there was fear. Fear of today, fear of tomorrow, fear of our neighbors, and fear of ourselves.

Jessica Pratt - On Your Own Love Again (2015)


I don't remember how this one slipped into my library but I checked it out a few days ago and I'm enjoying it more everyday. Contemporary acoustic folk with soft vocals. Great tracks throughout and nice to mellow out to in winter.


People's faces blend together like a watercolor you can't remember in time
