Part slacker-trad and part crust-academic, Milkweed's explorations in folk, ritual, and tradition echo with haunting resonances. Distortion and lo-fi production act as a ghostly mask for what are, in many ways, quite joyful reinterpretations of British folk sounds. Their folkloric trip-hop takes existing historical and cultural source material – such as a mid-twentieth-century folklore journal, a book on Welsh myths, and another on Bronze-Age human remains – and drags it into the modern era. Their latest release, Remscéla (2025), is a partial reimagining of Irish poet Thomas Kinsella's canonical translation of the Irish pagan epic, Táin Bó Cúailnge – the tale of an invader queen who seeks to plunder a magical bull from her former husband. In the same way that these remscéla act as a preface in Kinsella's translation, Milkweed's album of the same title is a beautiful, curious introduction to what one can expect at one of their live shows: two mysterious people heartedly keeping oral storytelling traditions alive through wispy song and mischievous experimentation.
