Album Notes & Community Reviews

Ben Chasny masterfully blends American Primitivism with deeply atmospheric psychedelic folk on 'Dark Noontide'. The album weaves intricate acoustic fingerpicking with low-fidelity drone and raga rock influences to craft a hypnotic, meditative soundscape. Its dark, forest-dwelling aesthetic makes it a central pillar of the freak folk movement.
