Acoustic

Acoustic music originated in the folk traditions of the 1960s, when artists realised you could make a right racket with just a guitar and a bit of heartfelt crooning, no electricity required. It boasts an earthy, warm sound that often features strumming, delicate fingerpicking, and lyrics that make you ponder life—or at least reminisce about your last heartbreak over a pint. The genre has a knack for being both intimate and universal, proving that sometimes less really is more, unless you're trying to set up a karaoke night.
