nominate: Neil Michael Hagerty
…Particularly the “You Can’t Beat Tomorrow” album by his ever-mutating group Howling Hex. Usually NMH works with straight-up rock instrumentation, but for “YCBT” he recorded mostly with a rootsier ensemble including a trumpet, washboard, drums, harmonica, guitars, bass, seems like there’s other instruments in there, and then on some tracks the rhythm section is mainly samples (of, I believe, the same band)… Much of the disc sounds like it was recorded in a church or town hall. I am the rare dude who digs all of Hagerty’s output without prejudice (his long-past take on “Exile On Main Street” with Pussy Galore is folktronic if anything is - thanks to Banjobiotic for reminding me of it) and I would testify to at least borderline folktronicness in all of his work (see also the “1-2-3” collection and/or the limited edition vinyl series) but “You Can’t Beat Tomorrow” has the clearest fit to the category as defined thus far
