**Acoustic Instrumentation**: Neofolk typically features traditional folk instruments such as acoustic guitars, flutes, violins, and percussion, creating an earthy and organic sound.
**Lyrical Themes**: The lyrics often explore themes related to nature, mythology, history, and existentialism. They may draw on folklore, ancient traditions, and personal introspection.
**Atmospheric Soundscapes**: Neofolk music often creates a moody and atmospheric sound, using reverb and ambient elements to evoke a sense of place and emotion.
**Vocal Styles**: Vocals in neofolk can range from soft and melodic singing to more spoken or chant-like styles, often conveying a sense of intimacy and authenticity.
**Cultural Influences**: Many neofolk artists draw inspiration from various cultural traditions, incorporating elements from different folk styles around the world, which adds depth and diversity to their music.
**DIY Ethos**: The genre often embraces a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach, with many artists self-producing their work and maintaining an independent stance in the music industry.
**Interdisciplinary Art**: Neofolk is often associated with visual arts, literature, and performance art, with many artists creating a holistic aesthetic experience that extends beyond just music.
Notable neofolk artists include Death in June, Current 93, and Sol Invictus, who have contributed to the genre's distinct sound and thematic richness. Overall, neofolk serves as a bridge between the past and present, celebrating folk traditions while exploring contemporary issues and emotions.
