Love this.(+1 for a female artist)
I find the idea of "post-" genres to be infinitely interesting. How do you take an expression of art, deconstruct it to it's base components, and build from them something completely different? What will come out the other side? Often, beauty.
Scandinavia has a rich history of folk music, stemming back a thousand years. Strings, horns, harmonies and epic tales. Somehow, we took all that history, all of those rich rich stories, and ended up at Black Metal. What? How? Yeah, I don't know either. Never been a fan.
But what comes after Black Metal? How do you take something so extreme, and make it beautiful again? You deconstruct it. You take the lyrics, the chords, the structure, and you apply them to those age old themes of our folk music.
And so, we arrive at a curious genre called post-Black Metal. It is harmonious, mellow, wonderful. If you're a fan of black metal then, like an experienced sommelier, you might be able to pick out the notes of darkness left in this genre.
But they are faint.
@morelikeasong I'd like to dedicate this one to you, as it's more than folk music, more than black metal, more than it's components combined. It is just a song. And it is beautiful.

"One Particular Harbor," Jimmy Buffett (+1)
My mom was a Jimmy Buffett fan. My mom passes down a lot of her love of music to me. She wasn't much into rock, but my love of Jim Croce comes directly from her for example. And some of mine flowed back. One of my favorite memories of high school was taking my mother to a Judas Priest concert. Short little lady, gray hair, nice summer dress, surrounded by too serious kids in black leather, all screaming to "You've Got Another Thing Coming." She still loves that song.
I hate yard work (this all ties back in, I promise) which is why I moved to an apartment. Love the outdoors, but I don't want to tidy it up. Mom got me a job at her work, pulling weeds, when I was maybe 12. Hated it, but got paid. Just before I went out, she handed me a cassette tape for my Walkman, and it was all Jimmy Buffett stuff. I had heard "Margaritaville," and loved it, but that was it. I could have pulled weeds all day, listening to stories and instruments that weren't in my wheelhouse. It was one of those points that opened up my preconceptions of music, let me expand what I was listening to, and my eclectic tastes can honestly be traced back to that moment.
And when Jimmy passed, this was the song I played, sitting on a folding chair in a tiny, hidden park on the Coast, watching the waves slam into the rocks while I drank a lovely Cannon Beach Donlon Shanks Amber Rum, which tastes like a nice whiskey. (Sorry Jimmy, never loved rum.) It is a lovely song, and got even better live as he grew into it. It is anchored by the beautiful Deborah McColl. And I drank to Jimmy. And I drank to the ocean. And I drank to my mother.
And here's to all of you --may you ever find your harbor.
