Definition: contemporary folk music with experimental tendencies. (I suppose that'll do, haha).
A few artists who make up this genre are: Nico, Mister Salmon, Big Blood, Jandek, Erica Pomerance, Godz, The Holy Modal Rounders, and Tim Buckley. Godz were more than just avant-folk, though. They held a lot of influence in the creation of noise rock, krautrock (mainly Neu!), and freak folk. |

Quite easily, 'Avant' means advance, and Avant Folk music involves musicians taking elements of the folk genre and advancing beyond standard conventions through experimentation.
Incidentally, one of my favourite sub-genres. |
