What this episode covers
Gothic Country [Gɒ-θɪk kʌn-tri]: A Subgenre in the Country and Americana music genre that evokes the Southern Gothic literary genre through morbid lyrical themes and melancholic sounds. Some musicians that venture in Gothic Country have a more typical alternative folk sound, while others are reminiscent of soundtracks to a movie about the civil war written by Edgar Alan Poe. Dark, right? Well that is kind of the point. The sound reflects the melancholy nature of decay, ruin, damnation and the disenchanted ideoligies of old Southern hospitality. It uses gothic aesthetics to reflect on the darker elements of post-bellum life in the American South.
