Future Folk X BitTorrent Bundle
Visitors from space discover music, save the world.
Future Folk feels like the last dive bar band: bluegrass, unserious, and in-between-worlds. They’re also from space, which explains the outfits. If you’ve never heard of alien-roots music before, The History of Future Folk breaks it down.
The acclaimed micro-budget indie film directed by J. Anderson Mitchell and Jeremy Kipp Walker tells the story of two dudes from planet Hondo who fall from space, discover bluegrass, and save the world. General Trius (Nils d’Aulaire) is sent down to earth as an assassin. He hears music for the first time, and gives up his mission. Another Hondonian, Kevin (Jay Klaitz), comes after him, and Future Folk is formed. They play bluegrass in backrooms, and stop comets from crash-landing.
In a film full of weird and poignant moments, maybe there’s none more than this: the totally alien feeling of hearing music for the first time. How beautiful, and how human, and how could you not want to stay here on earth.
As a thank you to all the fans who made this DIY project possible, Future Folk is releasing the Future Folk Vol.1 album, art, and live videos (including an exclusive live performance of “Space Worms”) as a BitTorrent Bundle. All you have to do to unlock space stuff is enter your email. And you can catch Future Folk screenings and live performances on this planet over the summer, courtesy of DoStuff Media.

About BitTorrent Bundle
BitTorrent Bundle is an Alpha project, made with and for the web’s creative community. Our mission is to help artists connect directly with fans, inside the content they share.
Each BitTorrent Bundle allows artists to distribute content directly to the Internet. And each Bundle comes with a key. Fans can unlock artist content with an email address. The idea is to make each song a storefront, and each file more valuable, each time it’s shared. Got ideas for the next BitTorrent Bundle? Hit us up.
