Weirdlore encompasses a mystic strain of mushroom-flecked contemporary English folk, newly nesting in hedgerows between outright traditional music and the rootless folk-pop of The Mumford And Sons massive. Rapunzel & Sedayne’s Innocent Hare is a shimmering psychedelic drone. Starless And Bible Black arrive by way of West Coast California.
The Scottish interloper Alasdair Roberts channels ancient troubadours. Calling Weirdlore a broad church would overstate its range. Instead, the genre is a spacious ante-chapel. But alongside the new, star guest strewn, Folk Songs II album, by the notably absent Big Eyes Family Players, a movement gathers momentum.
