thanks for uploading this perf! saw B. chasy @amoeba, not really a fan of'apocalyptic folk' which SOA are often lumped together with Current 93, DIJ, Söl invictus, etc. but chasny's music just has a certain quality that draws me to it, much prefer his vocals over Tony Wakeford or David tibet.
eh, current 93 is a very different beast from DIJ/Sol Invictus (both of which are awfully patchy, I know), I'd give it a second try. anyways it's unfortunate that chasny gets lumped in there now because of his current 93 collaboration, his music has nothing to do with pretentious gothicness or the apocalypse.
what tunig does he play in?

Dont want to sound ignorant, but is all of his music like this? Does he ever have a band? Because I could listen to Elk River all day.

His name is Ben Chasny. His band 'Six Organs of Admittance' is what you want, but he fronts a few other more experimental bands.

If you like the solo instrumental stuff the best, check out the _For Octavio Paz_ CD, it is all solo acoustic. I love all of em.

I've always heard him lumped in with New Weird America and Freak Folk like Devendra, Josephine Foster, and CocoRosie.
