You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Digging myself a Peatbog Faeries hole at the moment - love the mix of trad Scots stuff and electronica but finding some of their stuff a little too 'polite' at times.
Does the fount of all musical knowledge that is STW know of other artists that I might want to check out in a similar vein.
The opening track of Blackhouse is the kind of stuff I'm after. Folktronica I guess? So far only really got Alt-J on my list and I knew about them already.
Caribou.
Four Tet.
Beta Band.
Some Bat for lashes.
Leafcutter John.
Shooglenifty - A Whisky Kiss ?
Possibly not really what you are looking for, but I think of this as an example of modernish Scottish folk music 🙂
Arab Strap - The First Big Weekend
There's even some remixes!
(haven't used it for ages, but this used to largely do what it was suppsed to)

Sounds like Irish folk music with some synth swooshes. I recommend getting all manner of Irish Folk Music, also a synthesizer app, and then jamming over the top with swooshes! (mrs P says ‘it’s like Riverdance combined with electronic sounds)
Afro Celt Sound System? It’s going back a bit
Have you discovered celtic folktrance?? Or celtic spacefolk? I’m guessing. Quite far from my general cup of mushroom tea, but I’ll have a look later. Hark? Is that the
Gong? (Wanders off into the gloaming im search of electric cheese...)
EDIT: late in, another house vote:
The Charlie Daniel's Band - The Devil Went Down To Georgia’?
Maybe give that a wobble?
Or some folky techno-polka!
(Some of the youtube comments are hilarious, but I quite like the music too. No fish? - no foul, no socks? - no shoes!)
Already a fan of the Afro Celts and Imagined Village, and familiar with a few of the other suggestion already too.
What I have in my head is the energy of folk punk but with electronica elements... Maybe I've just gone a niche too far and will have to bust my synths and software out of retirement and try my own hand at it.
^ Sounds like a plan. There must be hours of 90’s celtic punk out there just begging for a remix
How about Wardruna?
Or perhaps The Hu?
