i see anti-folk as more of an attitude whereas alt-folk is more a description of a musical style/genre. Antifolk is definitely not a musical style itself – it’s too varied. DCW’s music style is more post-punk but the hypnagogues album was a bit more country influenced… hope that helps. To add to the confusion a few DJ’s have sent DCW their own mixes of Sweden (Trance, Drum & Bass, Synth-Pop) which is being released next month with version of Sweden in Welsh!

Thanks. Not sure about this anti-folk tag. Alt-folk is ok but sounds a cop out.

Fair review of the long-awaited second offering from my favourite anti-folkers.
DCW are maturing nicely and whilst I would agree that a couple of the tracks
are a bit hit and miss, the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.
