I'm largely over the "folk indie rock" phase of my life but seriously, a concept album about a dystopian version of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice? C'moooooon.

it's a bit rough to pluck one track out of a concept album (a folk opera, if you will) but gosh, what an album   1

I do love a musical based on the Orpheus myth. All two of the ones I've seen I loved anyway. Hadestown wins though because POLITICS and POVERTY and that.   3
