Review

Folk is music of the people for the people - in both origin and best sense of the word: pop music. While traditional folk preserves authentic snapshots of our past, Future Folk sketches a friendly utopia of the here and now. This compilation does not lay claim to completeness with its 14 tracks, but can do so much more instead - amongst other things, give a warm welcome to the morning in these cold times. Without regard for stylistic or label-political limits "Future Folk" comprises a collection of magical talents, the very opposite of a "Checkered-Guide To Folktronica & Weird Folk". This is a child of love for music and progress - an essence of the future.

Future Folk also features some of the major players of the folk meets electronica scene such as Caribou and The Postal Service as well as icons like Ryuichi Sakamoto and William Shatner.

Call it folk, call it weird folk, nu folk or folktronica, call it whatever you want, for as the legendary Big Bill Broonzy once put it: "All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song".
