Milkweed is a London-based duo renowned for their innovative "slacker trad" style, blending traditional folk elements with experimental lo-fi production. Their music delves into esoteric themes, often drawing inspiration from obscure texts and folklore. Their 2023 album, *The Mound People*, was influenced by a 1974 text on preserved Bronze Age human remains, while 2024's *Folklore 1979* took its lyrics from an academic journal published by The Folklore Society. Their latest release, *Remscéla* (2025), interprets the pre-tales of the Irish epic *Táin Bó Cúailnge*. Milkweed's unique approach has garnered acclaim for its haunting melodies and thought-provoking narratives.
