Folklore Tapes imbue their legacy of British musical mysticism with a newfound sci fi focus on their latest V/A compilation, sonifying accounts of UFO sightings from now till the ancient past. The mysterious drones and ominous electrical signals of spacecraft back elegant folksong, winding organ passages, and soaring guitar tones, hinting at the past century’s pop culture representations of alien contact mixed in with experimental electronics and Britain’s acoustic traditions. Emily Oldfield’s spoken word piece ‘Glorious Green Globes’ is an anachronistic stream of historical analysis and modern day bleakness tying together these extraterrestrial themes with enthralling delivery
