Created by Swans songwriter Michael Gira in 1990, Young God has played a significant role in the reemergence of folk in the last few years. In addition to Gira’s own projects, the label has been home to popular “freak-folk” musician Devendra Banhart and psych-folk group Akron/Family.
Fire on Fire, whose entire lineup contributes vocals on top of guitar, upright bass, banjo, accordion, oud, harmonium, and more, will release a debut full-length early in 2008. The Handmade EP can be purchased at younggodrecords.com for $7.
