Psychedelic folk

Psychedelic folk, also known as acid folk or freak folk, is a loosely defined genre that originated in the 1960s. It combines the largely acoustic instrumentation of folk music with elements of psychedelia, creating a dream-like, spaced-out, whimsical, haunting, mystical, and melancholy atmosphere. This is achieved through various methods such as studio effects, unique tunings, affected vocal styles, and discordant melodies. The genre also draws inspiration from global regional music traditions, including Hindustani classical music and medieval music, as well as avant-garde influences from drone and American primitivism.
