Alt-folk is a genre that blends the storytelling and acoustic roots of traditional folk with alternative and indie influences, creating a rich and diverse sound. Characterized by introspective lyrics, raw and expressive vocals, and a mix of organic and experimental instrumentation, alt-folk embraces both earthy simplicity and modern production. Artists in the genre often incorporate elements of rock, country, and Americana, resulting in a dynamic range from haunting ballads to energetic, genre-defying anthems. With its blend of heartfelt songwriting and atmospheric textures, alt-folk resonates with listeners looking for authenticity and innovation.
