Next week (Thursday, May 14) Darkwaves will focus on the important (and somewhat controversial) genre often called Neofolk or Darkfolk. We will go back to some of its roots (Scott Walker, Leonard Cohen) and then explore its (former) protagonists from Britain (such as Death in June or Current 93) and Italy (such as Camerata Mediolanense or Ain Soph).
Until then, stay well.
