Freak Folk

Freak folk is a genre of alternative folk music that emerged in the early 2000s. It is characterized by its use of unconventional instrumentation, often including found objects, and its incorporation of elements from other genres such as psychedelia, experimental music, and world music. It is often associated with artists such as Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, and Animal Collective. The genre is known for its lo-fi production and its focus on lyrical content.
