great to hear, @ludicrouSpeed
Probably sounds too obvious but if you haven't listened, the latest Bon Iver album has lots of 'destroyed' and messed-up sounds and samples while still sounding folk-ish. Heavy use of OP-1 on that album.
Also in that realm is Jonsi, Patrick Wolf ('The Magic Position', 'The Bachelor' and 'Wind in the Wires') and Sufjan Stevens (almost everything post-'The Age of Adz') . Folk music made by non-boring people :)
I love all these artists! (Except I haven’t heard of Patrick Wolf, exited to listen!)… In fact, I recently finished a cover of sufjan’s Steven’s 4th of July on the op1, can’t wait to share it with y’all!
