Ok, here’s a thought: Acoustic Apocalypse.
We all know the Show is the thing, the Skinner can make music that’s not noise, and the Doof Warrior is undoubtedly alive and well in the maelstrom, but what else is happening? In a world without reliable electricity, what’s the music of Apocalypse World?
Drop links to acoustic tracks that would show up in your Apocalypse World. I’ll start.
youtube.com – Rev. Sister Mary Nelson- Judgement
Here’s my pick.
youtube.com – Agalloch – The Lodge
youtube.com – Current 93 feat. Bonnie “Price” Billy ~ Idumea
I’ve been a fan of this one for a while. youtube.com – The Fall – Peter and the Wolf
This is my pick. A cappella, rhythmic, chaotic 🙂
youtube.com – FARAUALLA “SIND”
youtube.com – Acapella Georgian Polyphonic Singing
For this one, get as much bass as you can, then get a bit more:
youtube.com – Kodo – “O-Daiko” – HD (japanese drummers – Taiko – tambours géants Japon)
Here, they’ve got an amp, but you can easily imagine it without, just a guitar, drums, voice, and rhythmic complexity:
youtube.com – Tsy An-Jaza Andao Tsika Holy
And now I’m done threadspamming, but I kinda want to include some central Asian folk music.
Kit La Touche I was thinking about some Mongolian throat singing…

Meguey Baker Did he? There was an orchestral version of a chaotic and experimental song by Xenakis that I was trying to post when my phone went weird… The maelstrom was strong that day.
