Genre - Indie Folk Music

In music, a genre is a style or category of music. It is used to group together songs so that, for example, should a listener particularly enjoy classical music, they can easily find songs that sound similar that they may also like.

In the case of Far Away, the genre would be known as indie folk. Indie folk is a melding of two genres that has characteristics of both. José Gonzalez is predominantly an indie folk singer. Indie folk is a music genre that arose in the 1990s from musicians in the indie (independent) rock community influenced by folk and classic country music. Indie folk combines the catchy melodies of indie rock with the acoustical sounds of contemporary folk music.

 Examples of artists in this genre are; Jose Gonzalez (obviously), Mumford and Sons, The Magnetic Zeros, Bon Iver, Noah and the Whale, Of Monsters and Men, Milky Chance and The Dodos.
I will analyse their work to see what I can take from it as well as to look for inspiration that would help with the filming.
