Could you consider this "krautfolk"?
>>64679372
No, indie-rock.

>Simplifying it to such a blanket term
>>64679402
>simplifying indie-rock
If I wanted to do that I would have just called it rock which also works.
>>64679402
yeah buddy, a meaningless term like krautfolk would be more fitting
>>64679435
Y'know what else is indie rock? Vampire Weekend, Interpol, and that kind of shit. Neither of those bands sound anything alike and I wouldn't recommend The Microphones to fans of either of those bands.
>>64679372
No. "Kraut" has no tangible sound and was just a term British music journalists used to describe experimental bands from Germany from a very specific time period. Bands like Faust, Neu, Can, Kraftwerk, only have geography and time period in common and not much else.
Just because a band sounds like Faust or Can doesn't make them Kraut.
>>64679442
I'm was simply meaning that it sounds reminiscent of a krautrock album, but played with an indie folk instrumentation.
>>64679479
Okay, thanks for the info. That makes sense.
>>64679372
It can't be part of a genre where the ethnicity of the artist is the defining trait.
It's called Krautrock because they're Krauts and for no other reason.
You clueless piece of shit.
Fucking /mu/ doesn't know anything about music.
>>64679611
Spotted the youngin! Calm down chap. It's just a thread on 4chan!
>>64679646
at some point it just starts bothering me.
/mu/ doesn't know anything about anything.
It's particularly bad when it comes to dance music.
>>64679611
You are also hella wrong asshole. I love how you just make statements with no research. Now watch you try to prove your stupid self.
What is even remotely krautrock/folk about this?
>>64679372
I always called it "abstract folk". Mount Eerie more so than The Glow and It Was Hot, I guess back then I was always told it's lo-fi folk. Not that it matters a lot.
>>64679654
He was asking a question. He didn't claim to know anything. Children jump the gun and assume.
>>64679661
You can't see how this is folk in any way?
>>64679682
krautfolk you dip
>>64679689
The more times I read it, the less sense you question makes.
>>64679705
You must have a low IQ then
>>64679689
Let me start here: have you listened to The Glow or are you questioning for sport?
>>64679720
I've never had one of these Internet bouts! How exciting! Have at it then!
Your mother was a cock!
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Kraut
honestly people do a tiny bit of research, trying to call something "kraut-anything" when it's not from germany is fucking retarded
>>64679722
I have listened to the glow. I am not hearing this "krautfolk" you're speaking of. What is so hard to understand about this?
>>64679734
Yes, she was.
>>64679775
Op here, not the other guy
Its large focus on creating an atmospheric soundscape rather than conventionally structured songs is very krautrock-esque, imo. It seems like, as the listener, you're just flowing in and out of these short lo-fi folky interludes, but the main focus is the ambience, rather than the ambient moments serving as the interludes. That's just my take on it.
>>64679372
It's Psychedelic Folk
>>64679462
Vampire Weekend is Indie Pop, Interpol is post-punk revival.
>>64679372
Beta indie
>>64679372
No, but this is
>>64679913
>Psychedelic folk
Doesn't sound like Sung Tongs to me.
Would disagree/10
>>64679934
Psychedelic as a sub-genre is characterised by being abstract and experimental, since The Glow Pt.2 is heavily acoustic, yet also experimental and abstract with both lyrics, production and song-writing, calling it Psychedelic Folk is a pretty good way to put it.

Well meme'd. Would you like me to list off all the bands that are neither?
