“Neofolk” Reviews

Snow Leopard Messiah reveals that Cashmore’s greatest contribution to neofolk is how supremely listenable and pleasant he makes it.

This may be neo-folk, but don’t expect an album full of nothing but blissed out psych-folk or martial industrial numbers.

Though less psychedelic than In Gowan Ring, Birch Book finds B’eirth crafting music that is just as lovely and haunting.

It’s a foreboding album to listen to, and almost draining, but it’s one that will always hold a special spot in my CD collection.

These songs resemble a musical patchwork cloak, with influences stitched together from various sources.

It vaguely reminds me of some of the Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus’ material.

Anyone who considers themselves a fan of World Serpent, Projekt, Cold Meat, or other similar labels would do themselves well to find a copy.

Even the trippiest, shroomiest sections of the album have a warmth and humanity about them.
