 Tiny Mix Tapes Music Reviews: Kay Hoffman Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The tumultuous history of Kay Hoffman's 1977 progressive folk opus Floret Silva is perhaps widely known among aficionados of underground psych folk and Italian prog, but it does indeed bear mentioning for the uninitiated, at least for the purposes of this review.
Due to a number of factors, including deadlines not met, and possibly the passage of the Seventies psych folk zeitgeist into the void, Floret Silva was not released in 1978 as was Hoffman's original intention.
Now that psych folk and “wyrd folk” artists such as Jan Dukes de Grey have begun to achieve renewed popularity among the indie rock/free folk scene, the record is finally being reissued to greater fanfare that Hoffman could have perhaps imagined.

The year's most blessedly weird album is the brainchild of singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Gustav Ejstes, a twenty-five-year-old space cadet who was raised on a farm in a tiny village in southern Sweden.
Ta Det Lugnt, the U.S. debut from Ejstes' band Dungen (pronounced dune-yen), is a blissful collection of psychedelic freakouts, trippy free-jazz grooves and gorgeous, daydreamy folk songs, with nary an English lyric.
Growing up in a seventeenth-century farmhouse in Vastergotland, home to a Volvo production plant and not much else, Ejstes learned to play Swedish folk music from his father, a fiddle teacher with whom Ejstes still performs woodland concerts.

All I knew about Josephine Foster before hearing her latest album was that she was considered part of the neo-hippy “freak folk” scene, along with people like Devendra Banhart.
For me, that was reason enough to dismiss her out of hand—not because I don’t like the psychedelic folk of the sixties and seventies that supplies the freak folksters’ template, but, rather, because I like the original so much.
Wholesale appropriation may be everywhere in music these days—bands are awarded points for ripping off the right people—but for me musical simulacra inevitably feel hollow and fake.
