October Falls is the project of Finland’s Mikko Lehto, who creates haunting acoustic folk songs reminiscent of Ulver’s black metal trilogy. While the guitar melodies, accompanied by delicate piano and martial drumming, are stunningly beautiful, they also convey a dark woodland atmosphere, as this video reveals. Despite looking like something I would have made in my second year of Film School, this clip really captures the mood of October Falls’ excellent album Marras (2005). It’s easily one of the most impressive neo-folk albums I’ve come across.

Digg!
