Milkweed describe their sound as slacker-trad, which is both true and&nbsp;somehow insufficient. For three years Milkweed have refined a formula –&nbsp;taking existing source material (a&nbsp; folklore journal, a book on Welsh&nbsp;myths, another on bronze age human remains and most recently Thomas&nbsp;Kinsella’s masterfully stark translation of the Táin Bó Cúailnge), cutting&nbsp;up the words and&nbsp; feeding them through a woodchipper of lo-fi production&nbsp;and experimental folk music.&nbsp;&nbsp; On the face of it their musical concerns are transatlantic – they follow&nbsp;the rich creative line that runs between British traditional music and the&nbsp;songs and tunes of the eastern United States. In reality their scope is&nbsp;global, and rooted in deep time, with influences from prehistory bleeding&nbsp;into a troubled and troubling modern era. As a result their music doesn’t&nbsp;sit easily anywhere, but ricochets between bewitching folk music and&nbsp;disconcerting hauntological experimentation.
