Folk the World Tour
Seventy minutes of deadpan acoustic satire recorded in small New Zealand theaters. Sparse guitars, awkward banter, and perfectly harmonized absurdity.

Listening to this album feels like being one of fifty people in a dimly lit basement theater, watching two men try very hard to be the world's most serious folk duo while failing spectacularly.
Listening to this album feels like being one of fifty people in a dimly lit basement theater, watching two men try very hard to be the world's most serious folk duo while failing spectacularly. The atmosphere is thick with the kind of intimate, slightly uncomfortable energy that only exists in small-venue comedy. You can hear every finger-squeak on the guitar strings and every hesitant breath before a punchline, making the experience feel less like a polished performance and more like a private joke shared between friends.
Basement Show saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
