Freak Folk

Freak Folk is a music genre that blends traditional folk melodies with experimental, psychedelic, and often eclectic elements. It emerged in the early 2000s, emphasizing a dreamy, organic sound characterized by acoustic instruments, haunting vocals, and an emphasis on spirituality and self-expression. Artists often incorporate unconventional sounds and a free-spirited attitude, creating a mystical, organic vibe that feels both profound and improvisational. The genre celebrates individuality and a connection to nature, drawing inspiration from 1960s folk, psychedelia, and indie music traditions.
