Melbourne, Australia
Folk Noir is a genre that is largely misunderstood. Okay, If you are deliberating over a bottle of sleeping pills or assembling a Charles Manson shrine in your bedroom, than I wouldn't recommend it. But if you are of relatively stable mind, this music can help you safely explore a darker side of your personality that all the cotton candy indie pop has long been obscuring.

Start with The Orbweavers from Melbourne with their ominous vinyl vocals that teeter on the edge of malign and magnificent. A perfect example of this fascinating genre, and one that noone else in Australia seems brave enough to explore.
