This Ship Argo

Things that strike you unreservedly about This Ship Argo are the rare talent to create music sounding like pure self-expression, expressing character outside of mainstream interference, the voicing of the geography of language giving words accent, along with a defiant DIY ethic, channeling all that is best about living, being here – Dig With It

DUNZA

DUNZA is another James Toth pseudonym and in his own words, James describes DUNZA as a blend of “old trance loops, analog synthesizers, doom riffs, disembodied vocals, field recordings, and heavily processed samples from decrepit 4-track noise cassettes to create a kind of postmodern ambient music that owes as much to Emperor as it does Pete Namlook.” – Threshing Media

Through dozens of releases on some of the coolest labels around (Eiderdown Records , Warhen Records, Ramble Records , Echodelick Records, Island House), The Modern Folk has mined traditional American music and filtered it through psychedelic music of all stripes — Fahey meets Berman meets Beefheart with Bigfoot there, too, rounding out the crew. – Monadnock Sound & Vision
