While you’re probably right about studio production, I think we’re in a freshly rising wave of new folk sounds and outsider composition.
Those pawn shop guitars are still finding their way to local stages and TikTok videos, and that moog you got sick of tuning and patching to reproduce a sound just got used for some analog nerd’s new daily ambient track on Soundcloud.
Making music is too exciting for instruments to collect dust. The retirement of a lot of these instruments from studio production may even be somewhat responsible for the rise of all these new folk sounds.
